Fig. 1. Transmitral flow vs. time curves in all patients for all four datasets.

Changes in left ventricle volume between two consecutive phases were calculated and plotted for each dataset reconstructed with slice thickness and increment of 0.9 mm at 5% RR-interval increments (dataset A), 0.9 mm at 10% increments (dataset B), 3 mm at 5% increments (dataset C), and 3 mm at 10% increments (dataset D).
