Recent technical advances in magnetic resonance imaging allow for comprehensive assessment of coronary artery disease, including functional parameters and direct visualization of the coronary artery lumen.
This review highlights recent technical advances in magnetic resonance imaging that enable comprehensive assessment of coronary artery anatomy and myocardial function in a single examination.
MRI advances may enable single-exam CAD assessment combining anatomy and function; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Recent technical advances in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging have allowed the development and use of multiple applications directed towards the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Some of the more important aspects considered in this assessment are functional parameters (perfusion, myocardial wall function, and coronary blood flow) in addition to direct visualization of the coronary artery lumen. The versatility of MR imaging allows such multiple and diverse studies, e.g., that of function and anatomy, to be performed during the same examination session. This paper describes the latest MR imaging techniques for coronary artery visualization and myocardial function.
