Abstract
Background Cardiac MR is often utilized to assess myocardial perfusion [1].Typically, T1 weighted images of the first pass of contrast agent are qualitatively assessed to identify hypo-enhanced regions of the myocardium. Although fully integrated approaches are available to register individual images to eliminate motion the impact on diagnostic accuracy has not been validated in patients [2].

In addition to motion correction, inline processing consisted of temporal filtering and surface coil correction [2].Conventional and motion-corrected images were assessed by 2 radiologists using the AHA 16-segment model and scored using a four point Likert scale (1-poor/nondiagnostic; to 4-excellent without artifacts) for each slice
