Noninvasive detection of coronary artery stenosis using contrast-enhanced three-dimensional breath-hold magnetic resonance coronary angiography
Matthias Regenfus,Dieter Ropers,Stephan Achenbach,Winfried Kessler,Gerhard Laub,Werner G. Daniel,Werner Moshage +6 more
TL;DR: Oblique projection contrast-enhanced MR coronary angiograms obtained within one single breath-hold permit identification of patients with coronary stenoses in the proximal and mid segments of the major coronary arteries with satisfactory accuracy.

Usefulness of respiratory gated magnetic resonance coronary angiography in assessing narrowings ≥50% in diameter in native coronary arteries and in aortocoronary bypass conduits
Winfried Kessler,Stephan Achenbach,Werner Moshage,Doris Zink,Randall Kroeker,Wolfgang Nitz,Gerhard Laub,Kurt Bachmann +7 more
TL;DR: Respiratory gated MRCA is a feasable method for the assessment of hemodynamically significant coronary stenoses and bypass graft patency, however, technical improvements are mandatory to improve accuracy of the method.

Coronary arteries: MR angiography with fast contrast-enhanced three-dimensional breath-hold imaging--initial experience.
Winfried Kessler,Gerhard Laub,Stephan Achenbach,Dieter Ropers,Werner Moshage,Werner G. Daniel +5 more
TL;DR: Gadolinium-enhanced, three-dimensional, breath-hold magnetic resonance (MR) coronary angiography was performed in two healthy volunteers and 11 patients suspected or known to have coronary artery disease and three of five, significant coronary stenoses were correctly identified.

A direct comparison of noninvasive coronary angiography by electron beam tomography and navigator-echo-based magnetic resonance imaging for the detection of restenosis following coronary angioplasty
Dieter Ropers,Matthias Regenfus,Nikolaos I. Stilianakis,Susanne Birke,Winfried Kessler,Werner Moshage,Gerhard Laub,Werner G. Daniel,Stephan Achenbach +8 more
TL;DR: For the detection of high-grade restenosis after PTCA, EBT demonstrated significantly higher accuracy than MRI.

Visualization of the coronary arteries in three-dimensional reconstructions using respiratory gated magnetic resonance imaging.
Stephan Achenbach,Winfried Kessler,Werner Moshage,Dieter Ropers,Doris Zink,Randall Kroeker,Wolfgang Nitz,Gerhardt Laub,Kurt Bachmann +8 more
TL;DR: Navigator-echo-based magnetic resonance imaging is a promising technique for investigating the coronary arteries after acquisition of a volume data set permits three-dimensional displays of the coronary vessels.
