First-pass cardiac MR perfusion imaging was initially performed only with 1 or 2 slices. With increasing performances of MR scanners due to stronger gradients, and new temporal sampling strategies, 2D multi-slice whole coverage of the heart has been enabled. This, however, increases the data flow to be analyzed. The standard manual ROI-based perfusion analysis getting more time-consuming on an increasing quantity of data raises the interest of an automated data analysis method. In this study we present a pixel-wise, semi-automated and user-independent cardiac perfusion analysis method.
