Is cta of the heart superior to mra of the heart at detecting coronary artery disease?

CTA vs MRI: Good question. From what I can read in uptodate.com a MRIS ANGIOGRAM study is better. But it depends on where you are and the type of MRI available. The hold standard is the classic intraarterial coronary angiogram. Discuss with your local team.
