Cardiac-phase resolved Blood Oxygen-Level-Dependent (CP-BOLD) MRI is a new approach capable of detecting an ongoing ischemia without the need for provocative stress. Current disease assessment relies on segmental analysis and uses only a few cardiac phases of the cine acquisition. It is expected that using all phases can permit pixel-level characterization. This work explores Independent Component Analysis (ICA) for pixel-level ischemia characterization. Using simulated data we demonstrate the potential utility of ICA for overcoming existing limitations in discriminating ischemic territories on the basis of CP-BOLD
