Fig. 1A 52-year-old woman with ST-T depression on ECG who had consecutively presented with history of chest pain. Targeted-volume acquisition (A–C) and whole-heart acquisition (D–F). Targeted-volume acquisition showed markedly better image quality in left main and left anterior arteries (scored 4 for A vs 2 for D), moderately better in right coronary artery (scored 4 for B vs 3 for E), and similar quality in left circumflex artery (scored 3 for both C and F).

Fig. 2A 51-year-old man with history of chest pain and palpitations who had ST-T depression on ECG. Targeted-volume acquisition (A–C) and whole-heart acquisition (D–F). Targeted-volume acquisition showed moderately better image quality in left main and left anterior descending arteries (scored 3 for A vs 2 for D), moderately better in right circumflex artery (scored 3 for B vs 2 for E), and moderately better in left circumflex artery (scorded 3 for C vs 2 for F).
