Gadolinium Enhanced MR Coronary Vessel Wall Imaging at 3.0 Tesla

Figure 6

(a) Formatted coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRCA) of the LAD and LCX demonstrating no high-grade stenosis, but a stent artifact in the mid LAD which is indicated by a red arrow. (b) No enhancement of the coronary artery vessel wall can be observed on the pre-contrast inversion-recovery coronary vessel wall scans. (c) Contrast uptake of coronary artery vessel wall of the LAD and LCX is demonstrated 30 minutes after contrast administration. The vessel wall of the left main (d); LAD (e), and LCX (f) is indicated by white arrows.
