A 3D cine DENSE sequence at 7 T enables efficient and comprehensive assessment of 3D myocardial mechanics in mice.
Using a 3D cine DENSE sequence tailored for cardiac imaging in mice at 7 T, a comprehensive assessment of 3D myocardial mechanics can be achieved with a scan time of less than 25 minutes and an image analysis time of approximately 1 hour.
