Example of superior image quality between native-SN-MRA and CE-MRA regarding artifacts. Native-SN-MRA (a) and CE-MRA (b) in a 52-year-old female vascular patient after replacement of the aortic root/ascending aorta and the aortic arch because of aortic dissection type A (Stanford), demonstrating lower susceptibility to artifacts, which was due to sternal cercalges. CE-MRA contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography, native-SN-MRA 3D radial respiratory self-navigated non-contrast-enhanced MRA
