[Abstract] Cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking technology is a new technique for non-invasive measurement of myocardial strain through post-processing software based on cardiac magnetic resonance cine sequence images. This technique is simple and convenient to operate, no extra sequence scanning is needed, and it has good repeatability. Myocardial strain refers to the deformability of myocardial fibers under tension, which can quantitatively evaluate the overall and local motor function of the myocardium. At present, cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking technology has a very rapid development in the research of myocardial strain, and this paper reviews the basic principle, clinical application and prospect of this technique.
