A previously reported method of using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to study heart wall motion involves a pair of nonselective radio-frequency (RF) pulses, separated by a magnetic field gradient pulse, prior to imaging; this produces images with a regular pattern of stripes that move with the heart wall and that have a sinusoidal intensity profile. It is demonstrated in this study that the substitution of more RF pulses, with their relative amplitudes distributed according to the binomial sequence, results in sharper stripes. This permits the use of a two-dimensional grid of stripes for more detailed studies of heart wall motion and provides a unique method of analyzing regional ventricular myocardial strain.
