Gadolinium Enhanced MR Coronary Vessel Wall Imaging at 3.0 Tesla
Figure 2
(a) No enhancement of the coronary artery vessel wall can be observed on the pre-contrast inversion-recovery coronary vessel wall scans of the right coronary artery (RCA). (b) Formatted coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRCA) in the same orientation demonstrating no high-grade stenosis. (d) Corresponding invasive catheterization of the RCA confirming MRCA findings. (c) Contrast uptake of coronary artery vessel wall of the RCA is demonstrated 45 minutes after contrast administration. The RCA vessel lumen or vessel wall is indicated by white arrows.
