52-year-old female patient with scimitar syndrome. Representative multiplanar reformatted images. REACT-CMRA (A, water-only reconstruction) clearly shows an anomalous venous return from both right pulmonary veins (PV) to the inferior vena cava (IVC) rather than directly to the left atrium (junction marked by the arrow). Steady-state-CMRA (B) shows intermediate image quality with blurred contours and some vessel artifacts. First-pass-CMRA (C) offers a good contrast but shows distinct artifacts and a bad demarcation between the PV and IVC (arrowhead) in comparison to the sharp demarcation on REACT-CMRA (arrowhead)
