Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) tagging has been established as an essential
technique for measuring regional myocardial function. It allows quantification of local …

Regional myocardial function can be measured by several MR techniques including tissue
tagging, phase velocity mapping, and more recently, displacement encoding with stimulated …

Myocardial tissue tagging using complementary spatial modulation of magnetization
(CSPAMM) allows detailed assessment of myocardial motion. To capture the complex 3D …

In vivo measurements of human brain deformation during mild acceleration are needed to
help validate computational models of traumatic brain injury and to understand the factors …

Images of myocardial strain can be used to diagnose heart disease, plan and monitor
treatment, and to learn about cardiac structure and function. Three-dimensional (3D) strain is …

Based on research and clinical trials, this book details the latest research in magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) tagging technology related to heart mechanics. It covers clinical …

Measurement of myocardial strain provides direct information about heart function that can
be correlated with disease. We present an MRI pulse sequence that acquires in just six …

Background CMR allows investigating cardiac contraction, rotation and torsion non-
invasively by the use of tagging sequences. Three-dimensional tagging has been proposed …

The introduction of tagged cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)[1, 2] over a decade
ago has led to an explosion of analysis tools for in vivo assessment of heart performance. In …

Noninvasive quantification of regional left ventricular rotation may improve understanding of
cardiac function. Current methods used to quantify rotation typically acquire data on a set of …
