Cardiac arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a promising technique for the quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and has been shown to detect clinically relevant changes in myocardial perfusion under vasodilator stress. However, current cardiac ASL techniques have limited spatial coverage because they cannot be repeated for multiple slices due to limited duration of pharmacologically induced peak stress (~3 min). In this work, we demonstrate the feasibility of using blipped CAIPI bSSFP for cardiac FAIR ASL.
