摘要
Purpose: To examine magnetic resonance coronary artery imaging after NC100150-Injection. Materials and Methods: Breath-hold and navigator-gated images were acquired in five patients. Results:Breath-hold image quality, coronary artery-fat SDNR, and coronary artery SNR improved. Respiratory artifact's due to reduced liver signal intensity degraded navigator-gated image quality. Conclusion: NC100150-Injection improves breath-hold coronary artery imaging. Navigator-gated, acquisitions should use techniques that are insensitive to T2* effects.
