This study is a single-center, prospective, controlled, diagnostic study. The study will be consecutive and is expected to enroll 100 patients with CCTA confirmed coronary calcified lesions. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of novel Ferumoxytol-enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (Fe-CMR) and coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in detecting calcified coronary arteries, using coronary angiography (CAG) and optical coherence imaging (OCT) as gold standards.

RECRUITINGDegree of vascular stenosis at the site of coronary calcification.
Degree of vascular stenosis at the site of coronary calcification(measured by CAG, CCTA, Fe-CMRA): 0-100%.
Time frame: baseline
CT-FFR, Agatston score, and the angle of calcification lesions occupying vascular lumen
①CT-FFR: computed tomography fractional flow reserve. ②Agatston score:0 point: No calcification; 1 to 10 points: Minimal plaque burden; 11 to 100 points: Mild plaque burden; 101 to 400 points: Moderate plaque burden; Greater than 400 points: Extensive plaque burden. ③the angle of calcification lesions occupying vascular lumen (CCTA):0°-360°
Time frame: baseline
calcium score of the plaque measured by OCT
OCT: calcium score of the plaque (①Calcification angle: the angle of the calcified plaque surrounding the vessel wall, a larger angle indicates more severe calcification. ②Calcification length: the longitudinal extension length of the calcified plaque along the vessel. ③Calcification thickness: the maximum thickness of the calcified plaque).
Time frame: baseline
Fe-CMRA image quality score
Fe-CMRA image quality score: the image quality was assessed by a 4-point scale: 1=poor (coronary vessel barely evident or noisy image); 2=moderate (coronary vessel visible but diagnostic confidence low); 3=good (coronary artery adequately visualized and diagnostic quality image); and 4=excellent (coronary artery clearly depicted).
