We evaluated the efficiency of non-invasive magnetic resonance coronary angiography in detecting coronary arterial lesions in 106 patients, aged from 4 months to 37 years, with a median of 13 years, with Kawasaki disease. Non-contrast enhanced, free-breathing magnetic resonance coronary angiographic studies using both the steady-state free precession technique, namely bright blood imaging, and navigator-echo proton density weighted black blood imaging, so-called black blood imaging, were performed in all the patients. Conventional X-ray coronary angiography was performed in 70 patients with coronary arterial lesions.We observed 97 aneurysms, 17 dilatations, 17 occlusions, 18 localized stenoses and 10 recanalized vessels, and we clarified their unique pattern of images on magnetic resonance coronary angiography. The differences in size of the aneurysms as seen on X-ray coronary angiography and bright blood imaging was mean 0.0, and the 95% confidence interval was from −1.4 to 1.5 on the Bland-Altman plots. With bright blood imaging, the sensitivity of occlusion and localized stenosis based on X-ray angiography was 94.2% and 97.2%, specificity was 99.5% and 97.2%, and negative-predictive value was 99.5% and 97.2%, respectively. Black blood imaging provided remarkable visualization of the thickened intima of aneurysms, and/or thrombus, in 38 lesions. We conclude that magnetic resonance coronary angiography can visualize all types of lesions due to Kawasaki disease in patients of all ages, and that it is useful to reduce the number of times X-ray angiography needs to be performed in patients with Kawasaki disease.

Abstract Background The free-breathing 3D whole-heart T2-prepared Bright-blood and black-blOOd phase SensiTive inversion recovery (BOOST) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) sequence was recently proposed for simultaneous bright-blood coronary CMR angiography and black-blood late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. This sequence enables simultaneous visualization of cardiac anatomy, coronary arteries and fibrosis. However, high-resolution (< 1.4 × 1.4 × 1.4 mm3) fully-sampled BOOST requires long acquisition times of ~ 20 min. Methods In this work, we propose to extend a highly efficient respiratory-resolved motion-corrected reconstruction framework (XD-ORCCA) to T2-prepared BOOST to enable high-resolution 3D whole-heart coronary CMR angiography and black-blood LGE in a clinically feasible scan time. Twelve healthy subjects were imaged without contrast injection (pre-contrast BOOST) and 10 patients with suspected cardiovascular disease were imaged after contrast injection (post-contrast BOOST). A quantitative analysis software was used to compare accelerated pre-contrast BOOST against the fully-sampled counterpart (vessel sharpness and length of the left and right coronary arteries). Moreover, three cardiologists performed diagnostic image quality scoring for clinical 2D LGE and both bright- and black-blood 3D BOOST imaging using a 4-point scale (1–4, non-diagnostic–fully diagnostic). A two one-sided test of equivalence (TOST) was performed to compare the pre-contrast BOOST images. Nonparametric TOST was performed to compare post-contrast BOOST image quality scores. Results The proposed method produces images from 3.8 × accelerated non-contrast-enhanced BOOST acquisitions with comparable vessel length and sharpness to those obtained from fully- sampled scans in healthy subjects. Moreover, in terms of visual grading, the 3D BOOST LGE datasets (median 4) and the clinical 2D counterpart (median 3.5) were found to be statistically equivalent (p < 0.05). In addition, bright-blood BOOST images allowed for visualization of the proximal and middle left anterior descending and right coronary sections with high diagnostic quality (mean score > 3.5). Conclusions The proposed framework provides high‐resolution 3D whole-heart BOOST images from a single free-breathing acquisition in ~ 7 min.
