Among patients who were scheduled to conventional x-ray coronary angiography, coronary MRA at 3.0T demonstrates high accuracy for detection of significant coronary artery stenosis. With contemporary techniques, 3.0T whole heart coronary MRA can be performed efficiently, and warrants greater consideration as a suitable noninvasive method to exclude obstructive coronary artery disease.
