Abstract
A method of processing signals from an accelerated MRI scan of a dynamic event occurring in the body of a human patient. The patient is subjected to an MRI examination which includes the relevant portion of his body. Those voxels for which there is no substantially no change over the time of the scan are identified and subtracted from the overall scan signal.
