The image quality was evaluated on a 3-point Likert scale. Inter-reader variability for image quality was analyzed with Cohen's kappa for the main coronary segments (left circumflex [LCX], left anterior descending [LAD], right coronary artery [RCA]) and the left main trunk (LMT).<h4>Results</h4>Inter-reader agreement for image quality of the coronary tree ranged from substantial to perfect, with a Cohen's kappa of 0.722 (RCA<sub>miHerz55-63https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9892157biostudies-literatureSparse 3D contrast-enhanced whole-heart imaging for coronary artery evaluation.PMC9892157Papavassiliu TAnsari UBaumann SWaldeck SOverhoff DJanssen SSchonberg SBorggrefe MfalseSparse 3D contrast-enhanced whole-heart imaging for coronary artery evaluation.<h4>Background</h4>We investigated the feasibility of evaluating coronary arteries with a contrast-enhanced (CE) self-navigated sparse isotropic 3D whole heart T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study sequence.<h4>Methods</h4>A total of 22 consecutive patients underwent coronary angiography and/or cardiac computed tomography (CT) including cardiac MRI.
