3D indicates 3-dimensional; CMR, cardiovascular magnetic resonance; LM/3VD, left main coronary artery or 3-vessel disease; SSFP, steady-state free precession; and TFE, turbo fast-echo.

Excludes 5 patients for “lack of cooperation” and 15 segments for being uninterpretable.

Based on 74% of coronary artery segments analyzable by CMR.

Based on 60% of patients with good free breathing CMR images.
