Fig. 5From: mDixon ECG-gated 3-dimensional cardiovascular magnetic resonance angiography in patients with congenital cardiovascular disease40-year-old male with history of BAV s/p mechanical valve (St. Jude) placement with aortic root and ascending aorta dilation. The flow artifact is significantly reduced in the mDixon image. The yellow arrows denote veins obscured by artifacts in the balanced SSFP image. Also, note the improved visualization of the right hemi-diaphragm in the mDixon image (Elliptical ROI). CE-CMRA phase focused in the aortic root and ascending aorta; small flow artifact Back to article page
