Excerpt

Coronary plaque characterization at 3.0 Tesla holds great potential for clinical benefit. Coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV) occurs after heart transplantation and is an immune-mediated diffuse coronary intimal disease. We demonstrate the use of contrast-enhanced inversion-recovery prepared coronary vessel wall MRI at 3T for diagnosis. We further validate the technique in 23 patients with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), showing an accuracy of 91%. Direct non-invasive imaging has great potential benefit for screening and prevention in these patients. The study has further significant implications for conventional coronary atherosclerosis. …
