Coronary magnetic resonance imaging

Cardiol Clin. 2007 Feb;25(1):141-70, vi. doi: 10.1016/j.ccl.2007.02.008.

Abstract

This article highlights the technical challenges and general imaging strategies for coronary MRI. This is followed by a review of the clinical results for the assessment of anomalous CAD, coronary artery aneurysms, native vessel integrity, and coronary artery bypass graft disease using the more commonly applied MRI methods. It concludes with a brief discussion of the advantages/disadvantages and clinical results comparing coronary MRI with multidetector CT (MDCT) coronary angiography.
