Background—High-resolution MRI has the potential to noninvasively image the human
coronary artery wall and define the degree and nature of coronary artery disease. Coronary …

Background—Conventional x-ray angiography frequently underestimates the true burden of
atherosclerosis. Although intravascular ultrasound allows for imaging of coronary plaque …

Background—Direct noninvasive visualization of the coronary vessel wall may enhance risk
stratification by quantifying subclinical coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden. We sought to …

Background—The ability to characterize and quantify coronary artery atherosclerotic lesions
accurately, reproducibly, and noninvasively may allow the stratification of risk for future acute …

BACKGROUND The ability to image the coronary arteries noninvasively would represent an
advance in patient care. We have developed a magnetic resonance (MR) angiographic …

Atherosclerotic plaque composition is central to the pathogenesis of plaque disruption and
acute thrombosis. Thus, there is a need for accurate imaging and characterization of …

Noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to determine vascular three-
dimensional structure, detect the presence of subclinical atherosclerotic disease in high-risk …

The study of atherosclerotic disease during its natural history and after therapeutic
intervention will enhance our understanding of the progression and regression of this …

In the present study, we tested the ability of multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT)
and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify and retrospectively characterize …

Coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a powerful noninvasive technique with
high soft‐tissue contrast for the visualization of the coronary anatomy without X‐ray …
