Global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global circumferential strain (GCS) are used in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to assess and track cardiac function.
Example
This example shows the representation of circumferential and longitudinal strain findings in the CV domain. The sponsor used the "CMRBRANDTYP Feature Tracking" analysis method (CVANMETH).
Rows 1-3:
Show circumferential strain for the left ventricle base, mid, and apex regions.
Row 4:
Shows circumferential strain for the LEFT VENTRICULAR BASAL INFEROSEPTAL SEGMENT.
Row 5:
Shows global circumferential strain.
Rows 6-8:
Show longitudinal strain for 4 chamber, 3 chamber, and 2 chamber views.
Row 9:
Shows longitudinal strain for the LEFT VENTRICULAR BASAL INFEROSEPTAL SEGMENT.
