From: Obesity reduces left ventricular strains, torsion, and synchrony in mouse models: a cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance study

Figure 1

Cine DENSE CMR images of a mouse heart collected on the Bruker 7 Tesla ClinScan. Cine DENSE is an advanced magnetic resonance imaging technique, which can be used to show the location of the heart (magnitude image) and the phase-encoded × and y displacements. Pixel values in the phase-encoded displacement images represent the amount of displacement which has occurred between the current frame and the end-diastolic frame (see legends at bottom of × and y displacement images). This enables direct pixel-wise calculation of strains, torsion and dyssynchrony to quantify left ventricular function.
