Calculating 3D intramyocardial strain tensors in a single slice of myocardium using MRI
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 108-112). === Strain is a measure of cardiac deformation and provides information on the mechanical and functional properties of the heart. As this deformation occurs in three dimensions (3D), a 3D measure of strain is appropriate, however, currently the p...
