Does the 3D centersurface method using CMR accurately quantify regional left ventricular function after myocardial infarction in a porcine model?
The 3D centersurface method using CMR can accurately quantify regional wall thickening and spatially identify regions of abnormal function after myocardial infarction without relying on geometric assumptions.
