In phantom, human volunteers, and an animal model, this study shows the feasibility of strain encoding (SENC) on a commercially available 0.55T low field scanner with limited gradient performance. Measured through-slice strain in a deformation phantom agrees with steady-state free precession (SSFP) cine; global strains in healthy humans fall into the normal expected range; infarcted myocardial segments in a porcine model demonstrated reduced strain.
