Whole-Heart Magnetic Resonance Coronary Angiography (WH MRCA) is a very useful tool for screening for coronary artery disease and usually performed during free breathing with real time motion correction (RMC). We have developed a Motion Correction Coefficient Pre-Analysis Method to obtain an appropriate RMC coefficient before the WH MRCA scan and performed the feasibility study of this method by evaluating the relation between the coefficient of RMC and the image quality for health screening cases retrospectively. The results showed that this method is expected to be very useful in the clinical application of WH MRCA.
