Although contrast-enhanced images had better overall image quality, an imaging protocol consisting of noncontrast 2D SSh bSSFP and 3D bSSFP whole-chest images provides diagnostically adequate image quality, and accurate vascular measurements, comparable to free-breathing contrast-enhanced 3D bSSFP in both children and adults with CHD and aortopathies.
