Fig. 6

Real-time images acquired in two patients during CMR-guided catheterization using the pSAT sequence with a pSAT angle of 30° (patient #1, a-c) and 40° (patient #2, d-f). Note balloon of the wedge catheter (see white arrow) at the inferior vena cava (a), main pulmonary artery (b) and left pulmonary wedge (c) in patient 1; and in the IVC (d) and LPA (e, f) in patient #2. Simultaneous visualization of catheter balloon and blood/heart structures was achieved with enhanced contrast and SNR using the proposed sequence
