Table 3
Summary of image quality for two groups undergoing imaging using complete versus narrow phase window acquisition at 320-row MDCTA.
| Image Quality (i) Excellent (ii) Diagnostic (iii) Nondiagnostic | Narrow phase window (Group A) Segments (%) | Complete phase window (Group B) Segments (%) | Total Patients = 87 Total segments = 1244 | Total patients = 27 Total segments = 359 |
| Excellent | 1058 (85%) | 235 (65%) | Diagnostic | 185 (14.87%) | 119 (33.14%) | Nondiagnostic | 1 (0.08%) | 05 (1.39%) |
