Patient example of overall image quality between native-SN-MRA and CE-MRA. Intraindividual comparison of a 46-year-old female vascular patient demonstrating the overall quality of native-SN-MRA (a and b) and CE-MRA (c and d). In native-SN-MRA, the wall of the aortic root/ascending aorta is sharper and better defined (a axial and b coronal MPR) as in CE-MRA (c axial and d coronal MPR). CE-MRA contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography, native-SN-MRA 3D radial respiratory self-navigated non-contrast-enhanced MRA, MPR multiplanar reconstruction
