Myocardial first-pass perfusion imaging with hybrid-EPI: frequency-offsets and potential artefacts

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>First-pass myocardial perfusion is often imaged with a tailored hybrid centric interleaved echo-planar-imaging sequence, providing rapid image acquisition with good contrast enhancement. The centric interleaved phase-encode order min...
