Typically, myocardial perfusion imaging with two-dimensional (2D) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) acquires data in three to four myocardial slices at a spatial resolution of 2-3 mm. However, accelerated data acquisition can facilitate higher spatial resolution (<2 mm) or three-dimensional...
