The results of this preliminary study showed excellent reproducibility for all ES strain parameters, with good to excellent reproducibility for the peak strain parameters. Moreover, all ES strain parameters had larger ICC values than the peak strain. In general, these results imply that feature-tracking with CMR42 software and black-blood cine images can be reliably used to assess strain patterns in mice.
