Abstract: A technique is demonstrated for the acquisition and processing of multislice, first-pass contrast enhanced perfusion images in the myocardium. The acquisition is a modification of "keyhole" imaging in which time series images are acquired by sampling a limited segment of k-space, corresponding to the low spatial frequencies.
