The use of cardiac strain mapping may provide useful knowledge that may help in detecting doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity at a functional scale. Although the feasibility of CMR has been established, there are no standard acquisition protocols or processing pipelines to assess cardiac strain maps. Compared to echocardiography, strain analysis methods from CMR are more sensitive to small differences in cardiotoxicity between risk groups in cancer survivors. While strain mapping from echocardiography remains adequate to detect large differences between healthy volunteers and patients with diseases, our study highlighted the necessity to combine different strain mapping methods to fully describe small cardiac damages
