MTC‐BOOST derived bright‐ and black‐blood datasets in three representative patients with congenital heart disease. A single MTC‐BOOST acquisition yields co‐registered bright‐ and black‐blood 3D imaging datasets for: (a,b) prior subclavian flap repair of aortic coarctation (subject 1), (c,d) dextrocardia situs inversus (subject 2), (e,f) Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary valve replacement (subject 3). The bright blood MT‐IR prepared acquisition (odd heartbeats) allows bright‐blood visualization of the heart anatomy and thoracic vascular structures including pulmonary arteries and veins. A phase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR)‐like reconstruction enables the generation of a black blood image from both odd and even heartbeats.
