Figure 7From: Accelerated cardiovascular magnetic resonance of the mouse heart using self-gated parallel imaging strategies does not compromise accuracy of structural and functional measuresWall thickening and wall thinning in the infarcted animal is clearly visible from the LV wall thickness profiles for both non-accelerated (R = 1.0) and accelerated (R = 3.0) measurements. Left: drawing illustrating the coordinate system taken as reference for the measurement of the angle θ at which LV wall thickness (d) was measured. Measurements were performed in steps of 15°. Right: LV wall thickness was measured for a selected slice in a healthy (circles) and an infarcted animal (diamonds, MI) for acceleration factors of R = 1.0 (black lines) and R = 3.0 (gray lines).Back to article page
