DE-MRI fused with MRA was superior to DE-MRI for visualization of the RF lesion owing to the precise information on LA and PV anatomy provided by DE-MRI.

The non-CE-MR method with a 2D-b-SSFP sequence can give us adequate information on AF ablation without any radiation exposure or contrast medium usage

The 2D b-SSFP sequence was more useful than the 3D b-SSFP sequence in adequately depicting the PV-LA anatomy.

In the current study, we successfully demonstrated that RF lesions could be visualized in Japanese patients using DE-MRI, although only commercially available tools were used.
