Fig. 2

Coronary reformats. Diastolic and systolic coronary reformats for 2 intubated and 2 free-breathing subjects. Yellow arrows indicate the right coronary artery (RCA), while light blue arrows indicate the left main (LM) and left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD; LM + LAD). From a qualitatively point of view, it can be observed how image quality and coronary vessel conspicuity appear similar in the two cardiac phases. Additionally, image quality is comparable between intubated and free-breathing patients
