    Myocardial strain quantifies myocardial deformation and can be analyzed using CMR through tissue tagging or feature tracking on standard cine images.

  • 2

    Feature tracking allows assessment of segmental and global strains from standard cine images, making it suitable for clinical routine despite lacking standardization.

  • 3

    The study evaluated manual versus AI-based strain assessment methods in healthy volunteers and patients with various cardiac diseases to identify strengths and weaknesses.

  • 4

    AI-generated segmentations were validated against manual contours, enhancing the accuracy of strain evaluation while reducing the time-consuming manual process.

  • 5

    The study's findings may help establish a standardized approach to feature tracking in clinical practice and large-scale studies, improving myocardial strain assessment.
