From: Comparison of 2D and 3D calculation of left ventricular torsion as circumferential-longitudinal shear angle using cardiovascular magnetic resonance tagging

Figure 6

(a) Two modes of deformation resulting in the same CL shear angle: left image: undeformed LV; middle image: LV deformed due to torsion; right image: LV deformed due to differences in longitudinal displacement. (b) Influence of the location of the axis of rotation (AoR) on the observed rotation (ϕ) for the same displacement. The axis of rotation will be affected by conditions such as RV hypertrophy.
