Analytical method to measure three-dimensional strain patterns in the left ventricle from single slice displacement data [PDF]
Background: Displacement encoded Cardiovascular MR (CMR) can provide high spatial resolution measurements of three-dimensional (3D) Lagrangian displacement. Spatial gradients of the Lagrangian displacement field are used to measure regional myocardial

A novel method for estimating myocardial strain: assessment of deformation tracking against reference magnetic resonance methods in healthy volunteers [PDF]
We developed a novel method for tracking myocardial deformation using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) cine imaging. We hypothesised that circumferential strain using deformation-tracking has comparable diagnostic performance to a validated method ...

A thousand words about the imaging in cardiac amyloidosis
Cardiac amyloidosis is an infiltrative disease which usually occurs under the form of restrictive cardiomyopathy. Advances in the treatment have changed the unfavorable outcomes of this disease. Thus, early diagnosis is essential.

Comparison of T1 mapping techniques for ECV quantification. histological validation and reproducibility of ShMOLLI versus multibreath-hold T1 quantification equilibrium contrast CMR [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) is elevated in fibrosis or infiltration and can be quantified by measuring the haematocrit with pre and post contrast T1 at sufficient contrast equilibrium.

Noninvasive cardiac flow assessment using high speed magnetic resonance fluid motion tracking. [PDF]
Cardiovascular diseases can be diagnosed by assessing abnormal flow behavior in the heart. We introduce, for the first time, a magnetic resonance imaging-based diagnostic that produces sectional flow maps of cardiac chambers, and presents cardiac ...

Real-time Assessment of Right and Left Ventricular Volumes and Function in Children Using High Spatiotemporal Resolution Spiral bSSFP with Compressed Sensing [PDF]
Background: Real-time (RT) assessment of ventricular volumes and function enables data acquisition during free-breathing. However, in children the requirement for high spatiotemporal resolution requires accelerated imaging techniques.
