Myofiber strain in healthy humans using DENSE and cDTI

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Purpose Myofiber strain, Eff, is a mechanistically relevant metric of cardiac cell shortening and is expected to be spatially uniform in healthy populations, making it a prime candidate for the evaluation of local cardiomyocyte contractility. In this study, a new, efficient pipeline was proposed to combine microstructural cDTI and functional DENSE data in order to estimate Eff in vivo. Methods Thirty...
