A quantitative analysis of myocardial mechanics is fundamental to understanding cardiac
function, diagnosis of heart disease, and assessment of therapeutic intervention …

Cardiac MRI is an accurate, noninvasive modality for assessing the structure and function of
the murine heart. In addition to conventional imaging, MRI tissue tracking methods can …

Contraction of the heart is central to its purpose of pumping blood around the body. While
simple global function measures (such as the ejection fraction) are most commonly used in …

Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) strain maps of the myocardium provide a coordinate‐
system–independent quantification of myocardial deformation and kinematics. We combine …

Background The ability to measure and quantify myocardial motion and deformation
provides a useful tool to assist in the diagnosis, prognosis and management of heart …

Abstract Background Displacement encoded Cardiovascular MR (CMR) can provide high
spatial resolution measurements of three-dimensional (3D) Lagrangian displacement …

Fast cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) has comparative
advantages over tagged MRI (TMRI) including higher spatial resolution and faster post …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a highly advanced and sophisticated imaging
modality for cardiac motion tracking and analysis, capable of providing 3D analysis of global …

Purpose Fast cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) MR has higher
spatial resolution and enables rapid postprocessing. Thus we compared the accuracy of …

Patients suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy or myocardial infarction can develop left
ventricular (LV) diastolic impairment. The LV remodels its structure and function to adapt to …
