In comparison with the traditional whole-heart coronary magnetic resonance angiography (WH-CMRA) based on the spectral pre-saturation with inversion recovery (SPIR), the advanced WH-CMRA based on Dixon with non-contrast-enhanced free respiratory navigation is associated with advantages of improved image quality, increased blood signal-to-noise ratio, and the extra fat image. This study proved that it is feasible to visualize the coronary artery (image quality scores met the requirement of clinical diagnosis) using the Dixon based WH-CMRA without increasing scan time.
