Abstract
Background CMR tagging in polar patterns is desirable because of its close compatibility to the annular geometry and motion of the left ventricle in short axis view. This circular symmetry does not exist in some pathological cases neither in the normal long axis view. An oval-shaped pattern is more suitable for assessment of the deformation in these conditions. Herein, we present the non-uniform polar tagging method and also present the preliminary images [1].

Assuming the gradient pairs as Gx & Gy, for example, in order to create vertical ovals Gx amplitude was selected greater than Gy amplitude
A pulse sequence for generating non-uniform polar tagging was theoretically described, simulated and tested in phantom and a human subject. This kind of tagging may be used to assess mayocardial deformation in a long axis view or in cases that mayocardium becomes oval-shaped in short axis view
