Prognostic value of deformation metrics extracted from cine MR images has been shown by numerous studies in the clinical setting, but with some limitations to detect local changes in the myocardium. Tagged CMR, however, allows tracking material points on the heart wall, revealing local myocardial deformation. Although it is superior to cine MRI in quantification of myocardial torsion, radial strain is often omitted. In this contribution, we enrich our registration technique with the capability to combine cine and tagged in-vivo CMR images, improving accuracy of regional strain assessment from tagged images while acquiring global deformation from cine CMR images.
