XStrain 4D global LV analysis. At the end of each scanning section, the three apical views are acquired. Then, after left ventricular (LV) endocardial border tracking, the software analyzes LV regional deformation parameters. Finally, the Beutel 3D reconstruction allows quantification of global LV function (global longitudinal strain (GLS)—ejection fraction).
