Assessment of Coronary Plaque Burden using Non-Contrast T1-weighted Cardiovascular MR: Comparison with Coronary CT Angiography.
BACKGROUND Non-contrast T1-weighted cardiovascular MR (CMR) enables assessment of coronary atherosclerotic plaques by exploiting elevated signal intensity within high-risk plaque components. The novel iT2prep-BOOST sequence provides co-registered coronary lumen and vessel wall whole-heart imaging, potentially facilitat...
