Coronary MR angiography in children during systole and diastole using a dual cardiac phase scan of the whole heart

Abstract

In this abstract we will investigate the feasibility of dual phase cardiac whole heart MRI to obtain Coronary Magnetic Resonance Angiography (CMRA) at end-systole and mid-diastole in children with Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD). This technique allows optimal coronary artery visualization by choosing the best rest period of the heart without any scan time penalty.
