We demonstrated the successful application of whole ventricular coverage absolute quantitative first-pass myocardial perfusion imaging using accelerated spirals in healthy volunteers. This sequence can acquire 8 short axis slices in 480ms enabling full ventricular coverage at heart rates up to 125 BPM.
