Table 2 Vessel length and vessel sharpness for nonenhanced and 2D-SENSE CE-MRA.

From: 2D-SENSE in isotropic slow infusion contrast-enhanced whole-heart coronary magnetic resonance angiography at 3 T

Parameter

Non enhanced whole-heart MRA (T2prep)

Whole-heart CE-MRA (Gd-BOPTA, 2D-SENSE)

Vessel length (cm)

LM + LAD

6.8 ± 2.1

7.5 ± 2.3

 

LCx

3.4 ± 0.8

3.9 ± 1.1

 

RCA

11.8 ± 3.1

10.6 ± 3.7*

Vessel sharpness (%)

LM + LAD

50.2 ± 6.6

46.7 ± 6.0

 

LCx

51.1 ± 8.7

42.7 ± 7.5*

 

RCA

51.5 ± 7.4

52.0 ± 11.1

  1. *Sigificance: p < 0.05 vs. T2prep values (paired two-sided Student t-test)
  2. LM = left main artery, LAD = left anterior descending artery, LCx = left circumflex, RCA = right coronary artery.
