Metabolically inert hyperpolarized tracers can be used for perfusion measurements in vivo. In this work we present a simulation study to compare the performance for measurement of tissue perfusion of a conventional imaging approach to a segmented snapshot acquisition where each segment ends with a 90 degree RF pulse.
