Fig. 8From: Sorted Golden-step phase encoding: an improved Golden-step imaging technique for cardiac and respiratory self-gated cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance imagingComparison of LV blood-myocardium sharpness as measured from ECG BH and sGS FB images. Whether combined (a)Â or separated into SAX (b)Â and LAX (c)Â groups, the sGS FB images were in general slightly less sharp than the ECG BH scan, although the differences are not large. SAX: short axis. LAX: long axis. DIA: end-diastole. SYS: end-systole. LV: left ventricleBack to article page
