MRI myocardial motion and fiber tracking: a confirmation of knowledge from different imaging modalities

Abstract

These composite findings indicate that phase contrast MRI techniques for high temporal resolution velocity mapping during cardiac motion and myocardial fiber tracking confirm other technologies, and centralize the capacity of MRI to link other imaging methods together relative to a single helical structural model. The close agreement amongst a spectrum of imaging studies provide a very powerful integration that transcends a single look; the same thing is observed by each component of global technology, thereby implying that the helical ventricular band is the structural basis for these functional changes.
