The purpose of the study is to assess the incremental value of diagnostic performance using a fully-automated, motion-corrected (MC) first pass myocardial perfusion image acquisition protocol compared to images obtained under a non-corrected, breath-hold, shallow-breathing first pass myocardial perfusion image acquisition protocol in patients with suspected ischemic heart disease. The MR images resulting from two different image acquisition techniques, including Non-Corrected Breath-Hold Shallow-Breathing and Motion-Corrected, were assessed independently by two radiologists (average of 7 years of experience in reading cardiac MRI) using the American Heart Association modified 16 segment model and were evaluated using a four point Likert scale (1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good, and 4 = excellent) for image quality
