• Evaluating the size of coronary aneurysm is important for risk stratification and treatment of Kawasaki disease. • Self-navigated coronary MR angiography (SN-CMRA) shortens scan time and achieves comparable image quality and diagnostic performance compared with diaphragm-navigated coronary MR angiography. • SN-CMRA can evaluate coronary aneurysm non-invasively and without radiation, providing information for risk stratification and treatment.
