Figure 1 Basic principle of magnetic resonance tissue tagging. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance tissue tagging. The schematic drawing indicates the short-axis image planes and the magnetically saturated planes perpendicular to the imaging plane (A). During subsequent image acquisition, reduced signal is obtained from the saturated tissue. This results in black lines on the images (B). LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricle.
