Abstract:
A method is presented for measuring myocardial deformation in a breath-hold with tagged cine MRI. Tagged cine images of human hearts are obtained in arbitrary oblique planes on a standard imager with as few as four heartbeats. The scan time has been reduced 16- to 64-fold from previous techniques.
