Coronary MR imaging at 7.0T has the potential to improve
imaging quality. The objective of this work is to
demonstrate the feasibility of comprehensive coronary
artery MR imaging at 7.0T, including all three major
coronary arteries. Imaging is performed using a novel
8-channel transmit receive array with modified dipole
antennas. The LCX and LAD have been imaged successfully
in respectively 4 and 5 out of 7 cases; the RCA in 5 out
of 5. Image quality is good while there is even room for
improvement. The results provide a promising showcase
that coronary artery imaging is feasible at 7 Tesla.
