Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a promising technique for coronary artery imaging. The blood signal changes during the contrast injection will result in image artifacts, blurring and relatively low signal-to-noise ratio, when the k-space segments from different cardiac cycl
## Abstract ## Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of three‐dimensional thick‐partition, contrast‐enhanced, catheter‐directed coronary artery magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and test the hypothesis that three‐dimensional imaging improves coronary artery background contrast‐to‐noise ratio (
