This article reviews coronary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for assessing coronary artery disease (CAD) and related conditions. It discusses technical challenges, clinical applications, and compares MRI with multidetector CT (MDCT) coronary angiography.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Imaging
  • Medical Imaging Techniques
  • Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Background:

  • Coronary magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is an emerging non-invasive imaging modality for evaluating coronary artery disease (CAD).
  • Technical advancements have improved the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of CMR for coronary imaging.
  • Despite progress, technical challenges and standardized imaging strategies remain crucial for widespread clinical adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the technical challenges and general imaging strategies for coronary MRI.
  • To review the clinical results for the assessment of anomalous coronary artery disease, coronary artery aneurysms, native vessel integrity, and coronary artery bypass graft disease.
  • To compare the advantages, disadvantages, and clinical results of coronary MRI with multidetector CT (MDCT) coronary angiography.

Main Methods:

  • Review of technical aspects and imaging protocols for coronary MRI.
  • Analysis of clinical studies evaluating coronary MRI for various coronary pathologies.
  • Comparative assessment of coronary MRI and MDCT coronary angiography.

Main Results:

  • Coronary MRI demonstrates potential in assessing anomalous coronary artery disease, aneurysms, and bypass graft disease.
  • Technical challenges in image acquisition and interpretation are being addressed.
  • Comparison with MDCT reveals specific advantages and disadvantages for each modality.

Conclusions:

  • Coronary MRI is a promising tool for non-invasive coronary assessment, offering complementary information to other imaging techniques.
  • Further optimization of technical strategies and validation studies are needed to enhance its clinical role.
  • MDCT remains a widely used and effective method for coronary angiography, with ongoing comparisons to CMR.
