Abstract

OBJECTIVES: 4D flow MRI allows for a comprehensive assessment of intracardiac blood flow, useful for assessing cardiovascular diseases, but post-processing requires time-consuming ventricular segmentation throughout the cardiac cycle and is prone to subjective errors. Here, we evaluate the use of automatic left and right ventricular (LV and RV) segmentation based on deep learning (DL) network that operates on short-axis cine bSSFP images.
