Abstract
Methods 13 patients(mean age 56.2 ± 11.8 years, 9 men) with confirmed coronary artery disease by coronary CTA (64MDCT) underwent black-blood coronary wall MRI within 10 days. All scans were performed on a 1.5 T scanner (MAGNETOM Sonata, Siemens, Germany). Cross-sectional coronary wall imaging was acquired using a 2D double-inversion-recovery, ECG-triggered, navigatorgated, fat-suppressed, Turbo-Spin-Echo sequence (TSE) sequence [2] on the lesion coronary artery from the ostium to the middle segment continuously without gap. The vessel cross-sectional area (CSA), luminal CSA, maximal wall thickness, plaque burden, CNR (SI vessel wall SI perivascular area/SD noise) and SNR (SI vessel wall/SD noise) were measured in each slice which were then comfrom 13th Annual SCMR Scientific Sessions Phoenix, AZ, USA. 21-24 January 2010
