N2 - Purpose: Visualization of coronary blood flow in the right and left coronary system in volunteers and patients by means of a modified inversion-prepared bright-blood coronary magnetic resonance angiography (cMRA) sequence. Materials and Methods: cMRA was performed in 14 healthy volunteers and 19 patients on a 1.5 Tesla MR system using a free-breathing 3D balanced turbo field echo (b-TFE) sequence with radial k-space sampling. For magnetization preparation a slab selective and a 2D selective inversion pulse were used for the right and left coronary system, respectively. cMRA images were evaluated in terms of clinically relevant stenoses (
