Schematic diagram of the simultaneous left and right 3D coronary vessel wall imaging sequence. In each cardiac cycle, the dark blood preparation non-selectively inverts all tissue and selectively reinverts tissue slabs covering the left and right coronary arteries. Left and right coronary artery wall data are acquired on odd and even cardiac cycles respectively. Each imaging block includes the acquisition of a low resolution 3D fat-excitation dataset which is used to track respiratory motion for B2B-RMC [2].
