Fiber architecture in remodeled myocardium revealed with a quantitative diffusion CMR tractography framework and histological validation

Background: The study of myofiber reorganization in the remote zone after myocardial infarction has been performed in 2D. Microstructural reorganization in remodeled hearts, however, can only be fully appreciated by considering myofibers as continuous 3D entities. The aim of this study was therefore...
