    Software is has been developed and available for licensing that 
fully automates image processing for the quantification of myocardial 
blood flow (MBF) pixel maps from first-pass contrast-enhanced cardiac 
magnetic resonance (CMR) perfusion images. The system removes the need 
for laborious manual quantitative CMR perfusion pixel map processing 
and can process prospective and retrospective studies acquired from 
various imaging protocols. In full automation, arterial input function 
(AIF) images are processed for motion correction and myocardial 
perfusion images are corrected for intensity bias. The corrected AIF 
images are processed for left ventricle signal detection and the 
corrected myocardial perfusion images and processed for myocardial 
signal detection. Both data sets are then corrected for nonlinear 
signaling, synchronized, and pixel-wise deconvolution processed. The 
resulting pixel map shows accurate myocardial blood flow.
