Ventricular volumes and function 128
Flow analysis 136
Angiography and other 3D datasets 142
A major strength of CMR is the accurate and reproducible measurement of ventricular volumes, mass and function, and it is widely regarded as the ‘gold standard’ for these measurements. Analysis is based on a stack of 2D contiguous short axis cine datasets, encompassing both ventricles from base to apex (...
