The study was performed under anesthesia with gadolinium contrast (0.2 mmol/kg). The multiplanar images (Figure 1) obtained from the cardiac MRI synchronized to the ECG during full expiration and the magnetic resonance angiography of the coronary arteries (Figure 2) were analyzed and processed in using an Extended MR WorkSpace 5.2 workstation (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands).
Magnetic resonance angiography of the coronary arteries with 3D reconstructions showing the ostia of the coronary arteries. Note that the left coronary artery has its origin in the pulmonary trunk (TAP - trunk of pulmonary artery, Ao - ascending aorta, LA - left atrium, Cx - circumflex coronary artery, DA - left anterior descending coronary artery, CD - right coronary artery).
