3D whole-heart noncontrast coronary MR angiography based on compressed SENSE technology: a comparative study of conventional SENSE sequence and coronary computed tomography angiography

Abstract

Key points The compressed SENSE could significantly shorten the scan time in NCMRA. The image quality tended to decrease with the decrease in scan time. The image quality tended to decrease with the decrease in scan time. The image quality of proximal vessels was higher than that of distal vessels.
