Three‐dimensional MR imaging of the coronary arteries: Preliminary clinical experience
Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) magnetization-prepared (MP) rapid gradient-echo (RAGE) and 3D RAGE technique was used to image the coronary arteries in healthy volunteers and patients with known disease. Each sequence produced images of volumes partitioned into 16 thin sections with differing blood-fat-myocardium contrast. The two types of images were subtracted to null fat signal, thus producing a third image set that showed flowing blood. Total …
