Abstract
The invention relates to a method of visualizing the perfusion of an organ, notably the perfusion of the myocardium of the heart. A series of MR perfusion images is displayed on a visual display unit. Each pair of successive images from a series of images is transformed in such a manner that the organ that is shown on the display unit essentially maintains its position.
