Ultrashort echo time (UTE) has recently been
demonstrated to have potential for the detection of
plaque calcification ex-vivo. For this reason, a
self-navigated 3D radial, ECG-triggered, whole-heart
imaging sequence was adapted to perform free-breathing
UTE acquisitions. This pulse sequence aims at taking
advantage of the efficiency and ease of use of
self-navigation techniques to enable UTE coronary
imaging in vivo. A first in vivo human feasibility study
was performed and initial results are discussed.
