## Abstract A flow‐independent method for imaging the coronary arteries within a breath‐hold on a standard whole‐body MR imager was developed. The technique is based on interleaved spiral k‐space scanning and forms a cardiac‐gated image in 20 heartbeats. The spiral readouts have good flow propertie

The majority of acute ischemic events relating to atherosclerosis are caused by plaque rupture and ensuing thrombosis. The risk of plaque rupture is dictated in part by plaque morphology, which in turn is influenced by pathophysiologic mechanisms at the cellular and molecular level. Anatomic imaging
