a Vessel length of the right (RCA) and left anterior descending (LAD) coronary arteries for all 12 healthy subjects obtained from the T2Prep-IR BOOST reconstructions of fully-sampled (FS), 2.6 × and 3.8 × accelerated (Acc) BOOST datasets. Significant equivalence (p < 0.05) in visible vessel length was observed between the reconstructions obtained from fully-sampled and accelerated acquisitions, for both coronary arteries. b Vessel sharpness obtained from the fully-sampled and accelerated T2Prep-IR BOOST images for all 12 healthy subjects. Image quality was assessed by measuring the first 4 cm and full length of the RCA and LAD. Measurements of vessel sharpness obtained for both coronary arteries were statistically equivalent (p < 0.05)
