| Research Abstract |
The purposes of this study were (1) to developed and optimize displacement encoding with stimulated echo (DENSE) MRI for reproducible quantification of myocardial strain, (2) to compare regional myocardial strain determined by strain encoded (SENC) MRI with the value obtained by speckle tracking echocardiography, and (3) to determine if speckle tracking analysis of cine MRI can provide assessment of altered myocardial strain in patients with myocardial infarction by using DENSE MRI as a reference standard. We found that (1) use of spiral acquisition reduced artifact on DENSE MRI and allows for reproducible quantification of circumferential and radial strain, (2) longitudinal myocardial strain of the right ventricle can be accurately assessed with SENC MRI and (3) speckle tracking of cine MRI and DENSE MRI demonstrated an excellent agreement and moderate agreement for global and regional myocardial strain, respectively, in patients with myocardial infarction.
