Core Tip This study presents a focused technical evaluation of a newly implemented coronal-plane balanced turbo field echo (BTFE) sequence for non-contrast-enhanced coronary magnetic resonance angiography at 3.0 T. Through a prospective intra-individual comparison with conventional axial turbo field echo and modified Dixon sequences, the coronal BTFE protocol demonstrated superior image quality - particularly in distal coronary segments - and a shorter acquisition time. These findings indicate that coronal BTFE-based whole-heart coronary magnetic resonance angiography provides a more efficient and diagnostically robust alternative for non-contrast coronary imaging at 3.0 T.
