Non-contrast whole-heart sub-millimeter isotropic CMRA images of a 35-year-old male patient with normal coronary arteries (patient 7). Accelerated free-breathing coronary MR angiography (CMRA) images reconstructed with non-rigid motion-compensated PROST are shown in the top row, revealing the LAD and RCA coronary arteries. The 3D CMRA dataset was acquired in 7 min 58 s (heart rate of 57 bpm). The corresponding reformatted images obtained with contrast-enhanced CT coronary angiography are shown in the bottom row. Three-dimensional volume-rendered images for both imaging modalities are shown in the right-hand column. Abbreviations: LAD, left anterior descending artery; RCA, right coronary artery; LCX, left circumflex artery; LM, left main; Ao, aorta; PA, pulmonary artery
