Using tagged MRI to reconstruct a 3D heartbeat

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tissue tagging is a decade-old method that lets scientists follow the motion of a beating heart. The method described in this paper reconstructs 3D motion from multiple 2D MRI images to find new information about the right ventricle.
