Six slice TSENSE single breath-hold acquisition with LV model. A typical result of the beating LV model customized to six slices acquired in a single breath-hold TSENSE acquisition. The four chamber long axis SSFP image is shown with the LV model endocardial surface shaded in red. The blue lines are the intersections of the LV epicardial surface with the image planes. Note apical and basal motions are well characterized by the long axis slices.
