Figure 4 The effect of the prescribed flip angle on myocardium signal-to-noise ratio and blood-to-myocardium contrast-to-noise ratio.
Optimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was achieved at prescribed flip angle of approximately 60° (red framed image). Although higher flip angles resulted in better blood-to-myocardium contrast-to-noise ratio, this came at the cost of reduced SNR. SNR: Signal-to-noise ratio; CNR: Contrast-to-noise ratio.
