Here we propose a framework for dynamic contrast enhanced myocardial perfusion MRI using an interleaved slice-group radial simultaneous multi-slice acquisition without magnetization preparation or ECG gating. The unique acquisition and reconstruction framework can provide 9 image slices with high spatial resolution cover the whole heart, and have comparable normal-ischemic tissue contrast with saturation recovery prepared radial readout, but is more efficient and robust. Also bright-blood cine images at the same slice positions can be reconstructed that can improve the cardiac MRI efficiency.
