Interpreting regional myocardial magnetic resonance imaging data: a new method for collation with angiographic findings in patients with coronary artery disease.
The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment of myocardial function and perfusion is a valuable complementary technique to coronary angiography. We describe a method of presenting and collating regional MRI data with the angiographic findings as annotated by the Green Lane reporting system. Routine clinical use of this approach is likely to increase the accuracy of MRI data interpretation and to influence both medical and interventional treatment strategies.
