Cine DENSE (Displacement Encoding with Stimulated
Echoes) provides accurate and high-resolution
displacement and strain imaging of the heart; however,
image acquisition times are relatively long and, due to
properties inherent to stimulated echoes,
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is relatively low. In this
study, using variable-density spiral acquisitions with
golden angle rotations and BLOSM-SENSE reconstruction,
accelerated cine DENSE images with two-dimensional
in-plane displacement encoding can be acquired in a
single breathhold, as short as 8 heartbeats. This
represents a significant improvement over prior
protocols that used two 14-heartbeats breathholds to
acquire equivalent datasets.
