Box plots of SNR and CR in the clinical study. Lower boundary of boxes indicates 25th percentile, line within boxes indicates median, and higher boundary of boxes indicates 75th percentile. Error bars indicate smallest and largest values within 1.5 box lengths of 25th and 75th percentiles. SNRLiv = SNR of the liver, SNRTum = SNR of the tumor, CRLiv/Tum = liver-to-tumor contrast ratio, CRLiv/Mus = liver-to-muscle contrast ratio. SNR, signal-to-noise ratio; CR, contrast ratio; SENSE, sensitivity encoding; CS, compressed SENSE.
