Abstract
The three-dimensional (3D) arrangement of the myocardial fibers (MF) plays an important role in systolic and diastolic function of the left ventricle (LV). We hypothesized that the full spatial distribution of MF can be characterized by tracking ultrasound speckles along image voxels, provided that a 3D ultrasound sequence is acquired at sufficient spatial resolution
