CMRA (0.9 mm3 resolution) in a 52-year-old female patient (patient 1) with coronary artery disease. The CMRA data was acquired in 8 min 37 s with 100% scan efficiency at an average heart rate of 58 bpm. a The reformatted CMRA images (left-hand column) disclose a stenosis (arrow) in the mid RCA that matches the lesion observed on the CCTA (right-hand column). A significant narrowing was observed on both modalities with a 50% diameter reduction, compared with normal reference proximal diameter. The same patient showed calcified coronary plaque in the mid LAD (calcium mass: 2.88 mg, Agatston score: 16.1) leading to luminal narrowing of the mid and distal segments of the coronary artery observed on the CMRA and CCTA (arrow). b Volume rendered image of the 3D CMRA dataset is shown. Abbreviations: CMRA, coronary magnetic resonance angiography; CCTA, coronary computed tomography angiography; LAD, left anterior descending artery; RCA, right coronary artery; SVC, superior vena cava; AO, aorta; PA, pulmonary artery
