PURPOSE: To present a database of systolic three-dimensional (3D) strain evolution
throughout the normal left ventricle (LV) in humans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 31 …

Simulation is a powerful tool for characterizing, evaluating, and optimizing medical imaging
systems. An important aspect of simulation is to have a realistic phantom or model of the …

This article presents a new method for measuring longitudinal strain in a short‐axis section
of the heart using harmonic phase magnetic resonance imaging (HARP‐MRI). The heart is …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is currently the gold standard for assessing both
global and regional myocardial function. New tools for quantifying regional function have …

Accurate delineation of the volumetric motion of the left ventricle (LV) of the heart from
tagged magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important area of research. The authors …

Purpose To detect and investigate details in left ventricular (LV) motion patterns with a
