Figure 2From: Subendocardial contractile impairment in chronic ischemic myocardium: assessment by strain analysis of 3T tagged CMRUsing inTag Osirix software for tag analysis, first we draw concentric circles of inner and outer contours of the left ventricle at end-systolic and divided the short-axis mid-ventricle into 6 segments (left). The software automatically plotted the area of the left ventricle and produced a color-coded strain map that shows low values as cold colors and high value as hot colors (right).Back to article page
