The anatomical coverage in first-pass myocardial perfusion imaging was extended by applying undersampled radial MS-CAIPIRINHA and a model-based reconstruction exploiting low-rank plus sparse matrix decomposition. The technique was tested in a patient with acute left ventricular myocardial infarction, yielding six short-axis slices from base to apex with a temporal resolution of one heartbeat. The reconstructed images exhibited a quality which is comparable to the conventional approach of acquiring only three slices per RR interval.
