An image processing pipeline is presented for the quantitative analysis of 2D grid tagged Magnetic Resonance images. The first step concerns the automatic extraction of the tagging pattern and the definition of the left ventricular myocardial contours. In a second step, a spatio-temporal displacement field is fitted to the tag data points. Finally, parameters related to the contractile function can be investigated through graphic displays, movies and statistical analysis.
