Breath-hold tagged cine MRI measures myocardial deformation in as few as four heartbeats, reducing scan time 16- to 64-fold compared to previous techniques.
A breath-hold tagged cine MRI method allows for the measurement of myocardial deformation with a 16- to 64-fold reduction in scan time compared to previous techniques.
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.
McVeigh et al. (1992) studied this question. Breath-hold tagged cine MRI measures myocardial deformation in as few as four heartbeats, reducing scan time 16- to 64-fold compared to previous techniques.
