Myocardial strain is a highly sensitive measure of heart function, but techniques to measure strain, such as displacement-encoded (DENSE) MRI, typically focus on the left ventricle, despite known clinical importance of right ventricle mechanics. The high resolution required to measure right ventricular strains is possible using navigator-based approaches; however, these are time-consuming and impractical for broad use. DENSE with outer volume suppression has been applied during a breath hold in the left ventricle, and may also enable resolving the right ventricle. We implemented DENSE with outer volume suppression and achieved similar 3D biventricular strain measurements compared to a navigator-based acquisition.
