Figure Lengend Snippet: Inter-modality agreement between TTE and CMR for LA functional assessment

Article Snippet: Pathan et al. 2019[ ] , Patients clinically indicate CMR (n = 43) Healthy volunteers (n = 11) , 3 T CMR scanner FT by two software (Medis) (Cvi42) , 2D-TTE STE by two software (EchoPac) (TomTec) , Comparing Medis vs EchoPac: Excellent inter-modality correlation (ICC = 0.90) for reservoir strain Good inter-modality correlation (ICC = 0.87) for conduit strain Modest inter-modality correlation (ICC = 0.71) for booster strain , CMR and TTE on the same day 2- and 4-chamber were used, up to 2 poorly tracked segments were excluded, if more the view not used in the analysis. Thus, the two-chamber view was excluded from the analysis in 1/54 CMR cases and 2/54 TTE cases due to poor tracking of more than two segments Modest to excellent inter-vendor correlation Scans were analysed in sequence introducing a potential bias.
