OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to validate strain measurements obtained using magnetic resonance tagging with spatial modulation of magnetization (SPAMM). We compared circumferential segment shortening measurements (%S) obtained using SPAMM to sonomicrometry %S in a canine model with (n = 28) and without (n = 3) coronary artery ligation. BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance tagging enables noninvasive measurement of myocardial strain, but such strain measurements have not yet been validated in vivo. METHODS: Circumferential sonomicrometry crystal pairs were placed in apical myocardium at ischemic risk in ligation studies and in adjacent and remote myocardium. The %S was obtained from closely juxtaposed sonomicrometry and SPAMM sites. RESULTS: Paired data were available from 19 of 31 studies. Both methods distinguished remote from ischemic function effectively (p = 0.014 for SPAMM and p = 0.002 for sonomicrometry). SPAMM %S was similar to sonomicrometry %S in ischemic myocardium (2 +/- 3 vs. 0 +/- 3 p = 0.067) but was slightly higher than sonomicrometry %S in remote myocardium (11 +/- 10 vs. 7 +/- 5, p = 0.033). End-systolic (n = 30) and late systolic (n = 34) SPAMM %S correlated well with sonomicrometry %S (r = 0.84, p < 0.0001 and r = 0.88, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Magnetic resonance tagging using SPAMM can quantitate myocardial strain in ischemic and remote myocardium. This study validates its application in scientific investigation and clinical assessment of patients with myocardial ischemia.
