Schematic of Spatiotemporal Image Correlation Technology: Based on a simplified number of slices, frames per slice, and cycle duration, the heart is scanned in three consecutive slices over time (A), STIC reconstructs consecutive cycles generating a transient volume representing real time 3D ultrasound (B), multiple slices of the heart are acquired during a single ultrasound scan with STIC (C) (Yagel, Cohen et al. 2007)
