Since the early 1960s, selective x-ray coronary angiogra-phy has provided the only means
of visualizing the coronary arterial system in vivo. However, it has several disadvantages …

Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) with standard extracellular
contrast material is well established for vascular imaging. Recently, the first blood pool …

Purpose: To prospectively evaluate whether scar caused by radiofrequency (RF) ablation of
the left atrium (LA) in patients with atrial fibrillation can be depicted with high-spatial …

In order to compare coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) data obtained with
different scanning methodologies, adequate visualization and presentation of the coronary …

OBJECTIVE. Ferumoxytol is increasingly reported as an alternative to gadolinium-based
contrast agents for MR angiography (MRA), particularly for patients with renal failure. This …

Objectives: We sought to evaluate radiofrequency (RF) ablation lesions in atrial fibrillation
(AF) patients using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), and to correlate the ablation …

At 3 T, the effective wavelength of the RF field is comparable to the dimension of the human
body, resulting in B1 standing wave effects and extra variations in phase. This effect is …

Abstract Wagner S, Schnorr J, Pilgrimm H, et al. Monomer-coated very small
superparamagnetic iron oxide particles as contrast medium for magnetic resonance …

Objectives: Our aim was to determine whether serial contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic
resonance (CE-CMR) is useful for the characterization of tissue signal changes within the …

Objectives: We examined whether delayed-enhancement cardiovascular magnetic
resonance (DE-CMR) coronary artery wall imaging correlated with atherosclerosis detected …
