Figure 6From: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance in pericardial diseasesCMR tagging using the SPAMM (spatial modulation of magnetization) technique in a healthy volunteer in axial plane. (a, b, c) and enlarged view at end systole (d). The tags are oriented in long-axis direction, and positioned on the heart at end diastole. Because of shear motion between visceral and parietal layer, the continuity of the tags gets lost during cardiac contraction (arrows)(d).Back to article page
