MRI strain using grid tagging is time consuming to
analyze, and is not widely applied for clinical
deformation imaging. Recently, MRI strain imaging using
post-processing feature tracking on standard SSFP images
is a novel technique without need for additional tagging
acquisitions. Two elite athletes were imaged at rest and
during exercise on a 1.5T system using an MRI pedal
ergometer with ultra-fast ECG-triggered cine SSFP
imaging and iterative compressed sense reconstruction.
Rest and exercise (100 Watts) datasets were analysed
with feature tracking for circumferential and radial
strain. Myocardial deformation is feasible using feature
tracking on ultra-fast cine SSFP image sets.
