## Abstract Fast imaging techniques allow monitoring of contrast medium (CM) first‐pass kinetics in a multislice mode. Employing shorter recovery times improves cardiac coverage during first‐pass conditions, but potentially flattens signal response in the myocardium. The aim of this study was there
## 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
