From: Single-breath-hold whole-heart coronary MRA in healthy volunteers at 3.0-T MRI
A 24-year-old volunteer was imaged by single-breath-hold whole-heart MRA with a 3-T system. His heart rate was 51 beats per minute, shot duration time 150 ms and scan time 31 sec (volunteer number 8 in Table 1). We showed his original image (a, b, and c), curved MPR (multi planner reconstruction) image (d, e, and f) and PWMIP (partial width maximum intensity projection) image (g, h, and i). All coronary branches were successfully depicted with diagnostic image quality. The qualitative image score is (RCA proximal segment: 4, RCA middle segment: 4, RCA distal segment: 4, LAD main segment: 4, LAD proximal segment: 3, LAD middle segment: 3, LCX proximal segment: 4, LCX distal segment: 4).
