It follows natural \u201cspeckle\u201d patterns in ultrasound images to measure how heart muscle moves and deforms. In plain terms, it helps clinicians quantify how well the heart squeezes, relaxes, and coordinates its motion. It is widely used in cardiology to assess myocardial strain, especially of the left ventricle."}
