Abstract

The present techniques relate to a techniques for performing cardiac perfusion imaging in order to detect perfusion defects in the myocardium. The present techniques relate to methods for performing cardiac perfusion imaging by performing at least two image acquisitions using different, customizable saturation delay times, which improves the ability to detect defects.
