The figure on the cover shows MR cine images (top row) and MR tissue tagging images (bottom row) at enddiastole (left) and endsystole (right). The tag line distance is 7 mm. The cine images demonstrate wall thickening during contraction, but intramural deformation is not visualized.
In the tagged images, the tags are a temporary property of the myocardium and therefore the tag lines move along with the tissue. The deformed tag lines visualize directly the underlying motion of the myocardium.
