Correlative FE-MUSIC and autopsy findings of a premature newborn girl (1.6 kg) with severe pulmonary regurgitation, dilated main pulmonary artery, right ventricular hypertrophy, and anomalous right coronary artery are shown. Breath held FE-CMRA (a, c) shows blurred cardiac borders, poor definition of RV trabeculae (scored 1) and mild blurring of the severely dilated main pulmonary artery (scored 3). FE-MUSIC (b, d) shows defined cardiac chambers with hypertrophied and trabeculated right ventricle (RV, scored 4) and interatrial septum (scored 4). The right coronary artery has an anomalous origin from the left coronary cusp and an inter-arterial course (white arrow in d, scored 3). An ejection flow jet (red arrows) and a regurgitant flow jet (green arrows) are visualized in systolic and diastolic FE-MUSIC frames (e) respectively. Autopsy findings (f) show full agreement with volume-rendered FE-MUSIC images (g). Ao, aorta; MPA, main pulmonary artery; RA, right atrium; RV, right ventricle
