## Abstract Accurate and fast quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) with MR first‐pass perfusion imaging techniques on a pixel‐by‐pixel basis remains difficult due to relatively long calculation times and noise‐sensitive algorithms. In this study, Zierler's central volume principle was used
## Abstract Myocardial perfusion can be estimated, in principle, from first‐pass MR images by converting the __T__~1~‐weighted signal–time curves to contrast agent concentration–time curves. Typically, __T__~1~ weighting is achieved by saturating the magnetization with a nonselective radiofrequency
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
