Technical assessment of whole body angiography and cardiac function within a single MRI examination.

Although a standard single dose of contrast agent is not generally considered optimal for LGE work at 1.5 T, recent evidence suggests that the difference between single and double doses for myocardial infarct detection at 3 T may not be significant. 30 With future refinement, it would be possible to streamline the examination further by performing the first stage of the WB-MRA acquisition initially, and then undertaking the CMR LV assessment in the time window between injections before completing the WB-MRA acquisition.
