Application of MR strain imaging in cardiac diseases / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

Objective Cardiac MRI is the "gold standard" for non-invasively assessing the structure and function of the heart.Compared with conventional cine imaging,MR strain technique can identify the abnormalities of segmental myocardial motion of heart diseases in the early stage by quantifying the displacement of myocardial tissue,which is of great value in evaluating the disease condition as well as guiding treatment and assessing prognosis.Myocardial strain can quantify the segmental wall motion,which is less impacted by other factors.The application of MR strain imaging in cardiac diseases were reviewed in this paper.
