[Abstract] Magnetic resonance coronary angiography (MRCA) is a noninvasive method of coronary arteries imaging. In the past decade, three-dimensional (3D) coronary artery MR imaging sequences have become the major approach because they provide volumetric coverage of the coronary arteries with high SNR and spatial resolution. Siemens provides both targeted (single or two main branches) and whole-heart coverage for coronary MRA imaging. This article introduces the technical background of the whole-heart coverage and the scan procedures at 1.5 T and 3.0 T.
