Magnetic resonance angiography and flow quantification of coronary arteries

Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am. 1993 Dec;1(2):339-47.

Abstract

Although further work is needed to improve spatial resolution and flow contrast as well as to lessen dependence on a regular cardiac rhythm, the potential clinical utility of MR coronary angiography is substantial. For the first time, information regarding coronary artery anatomy can be acquired in a completely noninvasive manner.
