Figure 1. A and B - anatomical and morphological relationships following segmental model of epicardial coronary artery tree. The right coronary artery (RCA) was analyzed in 3 segments (1, 2, and 3), the left coronary artery (LCA) within the left main stem (4), the left anterior descending (5 and 6), and the circumflex artery (7 and 8). C-E: representative images of RCA from a 38-year old female patient with SLE and F-H from age/gender matched healthy subject. C and F - CMR coronary angiography with luminogram, used to measure vessel length and lumen diameter. D and G -IR-CE images with black-blood prepulse to null the blood signal and reveal enhancement within aortic and coronary vessel wall. E and H - fused images of both previous ones to depict enhancement (orange) in relation to vessel lumen (bright signal).
