Introduction In children with CHD, achieving adequate separation of right-sided, left-sided, and venous structures using conventional CEMRA is hampered by high heart rates and the fast circulation. The need for visualizing small structures prolongs the acquisition time, and necessitates intubation and breath-holding to reduce motion induced blurring.
Purpose To investigate the feasibility of a free-breathing time resolved CEMRA (trCEMRA) acquisition that is suitable for children with high heart rates using a keyhole approach combined with parallel imaging.
Methods 18 patients age range 0-10 years (12/18 were
