Conventional first-pass myocardial perfusion MRI methods are prone to dark-rim artifacts. We developed a free-breathing DRA-reduced FPP scheme with Cartesian k-space sampling and instantaneous online image reconstruction. This can be implemented into clinical routine, enhancing its clinical accessibility. Preliminary results of canine with myocardial infarction showed high accuracy compared to late gadolinium enhancement imaging.
