Quantitative analysis of conventional STIR and GraSE-STIR in CMR imaging. (a) Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of conventional STIR and GraSE-STIR. No significant differences were found among different planes for conventional STIR () and GraSE-STIR () as well as between both sequences (). (b) Time taken for conventional STIR was significantly higher than GraSE-STIR in short-axis (SAX) view ().
