Abstract
PURPOSE: Cardiac perfusion MRI is vital for disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and risk stratification, with anomalies serving as markers of underlying ischemic pathologies. AI-assisted methods and tools enable accurate and efficient left ventricular (LV) myocardium segmentation on all DCE-MRI timeframes, offering a solution to the challenges posed by the multidimensional nature of the data. This study aims to develop and assess an automated method for LV myocardial segmentation on DCE-MRI data of a local hospital.
