What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The number of vascular segments with lesions	The number of vascular segments with lesions after administration	0 hour after administration
Lesion length	Vascular lesion length	0 hour after administration
Degree of vascular stenosis	Vascular stenosis degree	0 hour after administration

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Adverse event rate	The occurrence of all adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and treatment-related adverse events (TEAEs).	Baseline up to 24 hours after administration
Myocardium T1 values	Changes from baseline in the longitudinal relaxation value of myocardial tissue.	0 hour after administration
Signal-to-noise ratio	The strength of a signal relative to the background noise.	0 hour after administration
Contrast-to-noise ratio	The visibility and distinguishability of structures or features of interest in an image in the presence of noise.	0 hour after administration
Serum iron	Changes from baseline in the amount of circulating iron that is bound to transferrin and freely circulate in the blood.	Baseline up to 24 hours after administration
Serum ferritin	Changes from baseline in the concentration of plasma (or serum) ferritin.	Baseline up to 30 days and 60 days after administration
Total iron-binding capacity	Changes from baseline in the total amount of iron that can be bound by transferrin proteins in the blood.	Baseline up to 30 days and 60 days after administration
Serum transferrin saturation	Changes from baseline in the value of serum iron divided by the total iron-binding.	Baseline up to 30 days and 60 days after administration
Image quality scores	Vascular image quality was scored on a 4-point scale. 1 = Vessels not assessable due to poor image quality; 2 = Vessels visualized but only gross features (size/patency) confidently assessable; 3 = Vessels well defined and evaluable for structural pathology with high confidence; 4 = Excellent vessel definition with sharp borders such that fine details can be evaluated with high confidence.	0 hour after administration
