The Magnetic Resonance Imaging technique myocardial tagging allows the tracking and measurement of local parameters of heart wall motion. Tagging provides detailed information about regional cardiac function never before available with non-invasive techniques. The growth of this technique has been limited in part by the availability of post-processing tools. We introduce the TAGged cine AnalySIS Tools package (TAGASIST) for the processing of images from this technique. TAGASIST includes a graphical user interface for image segmentation, kinematic analysis, plotting of regional averages as well as multiple subjects (or patient populations) simultaneously, statistical analysis, and a database of all studies processed.
磁共振成像技术心肌标记可用于跟踪和测量心脏壁运动的局部参数。标记提供了有关区域心脏功能的详细信息，这是以前非侵入性技术所无法获得的。该技术的发展在一定程度上受到后处理工具可用性的限制。我们引入了用于处理该技术图像的标记电影分析工具包（TAGASIST）。TAGASIST包括一个图形用户界面，用于图像分割、运动学分析、同时绘制区域平均值以及多个受试者（或患者群体）、统计分析以及所有已处理研究的数据库。
