Displacement Encoding with Stimulated Echoes (DENSE) is
a cardiac magnetic resonance technique that encodes
tissue displacement into the phase of the MR signal. A
spiral acquisition has been used at 1.5T to efficiently
acquire data and increase SNR. This sequence has not
been validated at 3T, where the SNR would be higher, but
field inhomogeneities may lead to measurement errors. We
developed a novel method for measuring displacement
errors in vivo and applied it in humans at both 1.5T and
3T. Our primary finding is that the same spiral cine
DENSE acquisition that has been used at 1.5T can be
applied at 3T with equivalent accuracy.
