Cardiac Diffusion Tensor imaging using the Stimulated
Echo Acquisition Mode suffers from inherent myocardial
strain effects as diffusion is encoded across 2 R-R
intervals. Based on knowledge of the time course of
myocardial stretch patterns, diffusion tensor data can
be corrected for strain errors. In this work we present
a pipeline for deriving stretch tensor fields from
three-dimensional myocardial tagging images to correct
dual heart phase cardiac DTI data. Upon strain
correction, systolic and diastolic fiber architecture
acquired in the in-vivo human heart are compared.
