The characteristics of coronary artery disease (CAD) are gradual thickening of the coronary walls and narrowing of the vascular lumen due to the built-up of atherosclerosis plaques. Those morphological changes can be noninvasively detected by coronary MRI/MRA. In addition, functional changes, such as coronary wall distensibility and flow changes may also be evaluated with MRI. However, the application of current MRI/MRA techniques is limited in clinical practice due to several adverse technical and physiological factors, such as cardiac motion and respiratory motion. Many technical innovations have been adopted to address those problems from multiple aspects.
