Keywords: Heart, Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Myocardial strains and microstructure are considered important indicators of muscle contractility and function, which can be investigated with cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI) and tissue-velocity mapping. In this work we perform simulations incorporating contractile motion and model based diffusion contrast to investigate jointly encoding the information by modifying existing cDTI protocols. Key characteristics of the results agree with practical findings and suggest sufficient estimation accuracy for velocities and diffusion tensors.
