## Abstract Measurements of pressure variations within the cardiac chambers could provide important information for clinical assessments of cardiovascular function. In this work an MRI method for evaluating spatial distributions of intracardiac relative pressure is presented. We first calculated pr

## Abstract Cine MRI is used for assessing cardiac function and flow and is typically based on a breathβheld, segmented data acquisition. Breath holding is particularly difficult for patients with congestive heart failure or in pediatric cases. Realβtime imaging may be used without breath holding o
## Abstract In this study we assessed the use of a steady state free precession (SSFP) cine sequence in a series of radially orientated long axis slices for the measurement of left ventricular volumes and mass. We validated the radial long axis approach in phantoms and ex vivo porcine hearts and ap
