Due to the high spatiotemporal resolution , cardiac cine magnetic resonance imaging (CCMRI) has been widely used to evaluate the cardiac function of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial ischemia and so on. Segmentation-based motion tracking of left myocardium is very important for comprehensive evaluation of cardiac function in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, it is a challenge to track motion of left myocardium, which is homogeneous and cannot provide effective motion information. In this paper, CCMRI imaging techniques for myocardial motion tracking are introduced firstly. Then approaches for motion tracking of left myocardium based on CCMRI image are described in details and are summarized and prospected at the end, which not only helps beginners to have a quick and comprehensive understanding on this topic, but also provides theoretical reference to related researchers for further optimization of approaches for motion tracking of left myocardium. From the current study, motion tracking approaches for left myocardium based on CCMRI image make comprehensive use of the spatiotemporal motion characteristics of CCMRI image, the motion and structures of myocardium of left ventricle and so on, which can make up for the shortcomings of sparse motion information of CCMRI image. However, it still needs improved constraint framework, verification methods and so on.
