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
