Abstract

Rotations at multiple longitudinal levels (e.g., rotations from different short axis views) are determined. Three-dimensional representations are generated as a function of the rotations, such as distorting the representation to show rotation and/or modulating the display values as a function of the rotations. Twist and/or torsion of the heart may be calculated from the rotations.
