Abstract:
Within the past several years, MR angiography (MRA) has experienced major technological improvements. Whereas the contrast enhanced MRA of non-coronary vessels has become established in routine clinical diagnostics, MR coronary angiography still represents technical challenges to the MR scientists and clinical investigators. To allow diagnostic quality MR coronary angiography, precise and reliable visualization of small tortuous vessels moving at fast speed is necessary. This article reviews the basic principles of MRA with special consideration to MR coronary artery imaging.
