This pilot study shows the feasibility of fast MPF mapping in cardiac applications in the clinical magnetic field using a large-animal model. The results demonstrate that MPF maps present the effective source of the quantitative soft tissue endogenous contrast in sub-acute myocardial infarction and can be obtained with high spatial and temporal resolution.
