Demonstrates high repeatability of DENSE aortic strain in healthy volunteers; leaves clinical translation to aortopathies open.
Can 2D spiral cine DENSE MRI quantify regional circumferential Green strain in the thoracic and abdominal aorta in healthy volunteers?
Aortic cine DENSE MRI is a viable noninvasive technique for quantifying heterogeneous regional aortic wall strain, offering potential for improved patient-specific assessment of aortopathies.
Wilson et al. (2018) studied this question.
