Real-time interactive coronary MRA MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN MEDICINE Nayak, K. S., Pauly, J. M., Yang, P. C., Hu, B. S., Meyer, C. H., Nishimura, D. G. 2001; 46 (3): 430-435

Abstract

An interactive real-time imaging system capable of rapid coronary artery imaging is described. High-resolution spiral and circular echo planar trajectories were used to achieve 0.8 x 1.6 mm2 resolution in 135 ms (CEPI) or 1.13 x 1.13 mm2 resolution in 189 ms (spirals), over a 20-cm FOV. Using a sliding window reconstruction, display rates of up to 37 images/sec were achieved. Initial results indicate this technique can perform as a high-quality 2D coronary localizer and with SNR improvement may enable rapid screening of the coronary tree.
