The aim of this study was to test a novel cardiovascular
MRI protocol capable of acquiring cardiac MR (CMR) data
(including myocardial delayed enhancement) and
whole-body MRA (WB-MRA) data within a single
examination. The protocol was divided into five phases,
consisting of (i) localisers, (ii) CINE MR of left
ventricular function, (iii) WB-MRA part 1, (iv)
myocardial delayed enhancement, and (v) WB-MRA part II.
CMR segmentation and WB-MRA scoring evaluation was
undertaken by two teams of multiple observers, and good
repeatability was established. The protocol was well
tolerated by volunteers and therefore deemed suitable
for larger population-based studies.
