Abstract

BACKGROUND: Although analysis of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images provides accurate and reproducible measurements of left ventricular (LV) volumes, these measurements are usually not performed throughout the cardiac cycle because of lack of tools that would allow such analysis within a reasonable timeframe. A fully-automated machine-learning (ML) algorithm was recently developed to automatically generate LV volume-time curves. Our aim was to validate ejection and filling parameters calculated from these curves using conventional analysis as a reference.
