A model-based time-reversal of left ventricular motion improves cardiac motion analysis using tagged MRI data

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Myocardial motion is an important observable for the assessment of heart condition. Accurate estimates of ventricular (LV) wall motion are required for quantifying myocardial deformation and assessing local tissue function and viabil...
