Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) accounting for the majority of cases. X-ray coronary angiography and computed tomography coronary ...

In this work, three-dimensional (3D) spiral imaging has been utilized for magnetic resonance coronary angiography, Spiral-based 3D techniques can dramatically reduce imaging time requirements compared with 3D Fourier ...

Purpose: Cardiac PET-MR has shown potential for the comprehensive assessment of coronary heart disease. However, image degradation due to physiological motion remains a challenge that could hinder the adoption of this ...

Coronary arteries are segmented from the blood pool using mathematical morphology operations from a 3D magnetic resonance spiral acquisition on a continuously breathing healthy volunteer. The segmented volume is maximal ...
