Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is an important imaging modality for the assessment of heart disease; however, limitations of CMR include long exam times and high complexity compared to other cardiac imaging modalities. Recently advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have shown great potential to address many CMR limitations. While the developments are remarkable, translation of AI-based methods into real-world CMR clinical practice remains at a nascent stage and much work lies ahead to realize the full potential of AI for CMR.
