Abstract: | PURPOSE: To examine magnetic resonance coronary artery imaging after NC100150-Injection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Breath-hold and navigator-gated images were acquired in five patients. RESULTS: Breath-hold image quality, coronary artery-fat SDNR, and coronary artery SNR improved. Respiratory artifacts due to reduced liver signal intensity degraded navigator-gated image quality. CONCLUSION: NC100150-Injection improves breath-hold coronary artery imaging. Navigator-gated acquisitions should use techniques that are insensitive to T2* effects. |
