To describe a novel hardware MR-perfusion phantom to model first-pass of a bolus of contrast in the cardiac cavities and large thoracic vessels (arterial input function, AIF) and in the myocardium, allowing for the acquisition of dynamic first-pass MR-perfusion data and for a precise control of card

## Abstract Accurate and fast quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) with MR firstβpass perfusion imaging techniques on a pixelβbyβpixel basis remains difficult due to relatively long calculation times and noiseβsensitive algorithms. In this study, Zierler's central volume principle was used
