3D Cine DENSE (Displacement ENcoding with Stimulated Echoes) imaging can offer, compared to tagging, high spatial resolution, equivalent accuracy and better reproducibility, and where strain analysis is less time consuming. However, the scan time is approximately 25 minutes, which is too long for routine clinical use. In the present study, we accelerated 3D spiral cine DENSE and shortened the scan time to ~3 minutes. High image quality was achieved and strain analysis showed expected values for normal subjects.
