Fig. 2From: A comparison of both DENSE and feature tracking techniques with tagging for the cardiovascular magnetic resonance assessment of myocardial strainExamples of strain curves from circumferential (Ecc), radial (Err) and longitudinal strain (Ell) from the same patient using tagging, displacement encoding with simulated echoes (DENSE) and three feature tracking programs; The average cardiac cycle length is 844Â ms. There are fewer phases in tagging and in DENSE imaging due to degradation of tags in diastole and incomplete diastolic acquisition from prospective ECG gating, respectivelyBack to article page
