## Abstract First‐pass MR myocardial perfusion measurements require a well‐defined left ventricular (LV) blood pool input function. We used a peripheral intravenous (IV) injection of a gadolinium (Gd) chelate to obtain a well‐characterized LV time‐intensity curve. Using a strongly T1‐weighted subse

## Abstract ## Purpose: To test whether image normalization using either a separate 3D proton‐density (PD)‐weighted prescan, or 2D PD‐weighted images prior to the perfusion series, improves correction of differences in spatial sensitivity induced by radiofrequency (RF) surface receiver coils. Orig
