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

Heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF), previously referred to as diastolic heart
failure, has increased in prevalence as a cause of heart failure, now accounting for up to …

Isoflurane (ISO) is the most commonly used inhalational anesthetic for experimental
interventions in mice and is preferred for imaging technologies that require the mouse to …

Rationale: High-sensitivity in vivo phenotyping of cardiac function is essential for evaluating
genes of interest and novel therapies in small animal models of cardiovascular disease …

The ability to trace or identify specific molecules within a specific anatomic location provides
insight into metabolic pathways, tissue components, and tracing of solute transport …

This study aims to assess the usefulness of strain‐encoded magnetic resonance (SENC) for
the quantification of myocardial deformation ('strain') in healthy volunteers and for the …

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 …

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 …

Defining myocardial contours is often the most time-consuming portion of dynamic cardiac
MRI image analysis. Displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) is a …
