Introduction
Results
IntraPlaque hemorrhage(IPH) is a feature of vulnerable atheromatous plaques. It has strong associations with cardiovascular ischemic events. Early detection of such a significant plaque characteristic is critical and potentially benefit for their aggressive management. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging have emerged as promising noninvasive imaging techniques for coronary plaque visualization.
Coronary artery walls were successfully visualized on 3D IR-SSFP(80%). Strong high signal intensity (SHS) on IRSSFP were observed in 37 (14%) of total 253 segments and 9 segments (24%) with
