Multiplanar reformatted images of the coronary ostia in a 30-year-old female patient with surgical correction of persistent truncus arteriosus (type I). Non-contrast-enhanced REACT-CMRA (A, water-only reconstruction) shows good image quality with homogeneous epicardial fat suppression (asterisk), allowing for precise delineation of the proximal right coronary artery and aberrant origin of the left coronary artery from the non-coronary sinus. On contrast-enhanced steady-state-CMRA (B) the right coronary ostium is only rudimentarily recognizable and the left coronary artery shows blurred contours with surrounding artifacts. First-pass-CMRA (C) is non-diagnostic regarding the coronary arteries
