[Abstract] MR non-contrast three-dimensional coronary imaging has the unique advantages of no-radiation, no dependence on contrast agents and free breathing, which can non-invasively detect abnormalities in the coronary wall and lumen. With the continuous development of MRI sequences, acceleration technology and artificial intelligence, coronary imaging technology is also becoming more and more perfect and gradually applied in clinical practice, benefiting more patients. The application progress of coronary MRI in detecting coronary lumen and wall abnormalities is reviewed in this paper.
