Non-compaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) is a rare, congenital form of cardiomyopathy characterized by excessive trabeculations in the left ventricle myocardium. NCCM is often an underdiagnosed heart condition characterized by abnormal myocardial trabecu...

Fluid dynamics of the heart chamber can provide critical biological cues for understanding cardiac health and disease and have the potential for supporting diagnosis and prognosis. However, directly acquiring fluid dynamics information from clinical ...
Advanced imaging techniques, like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have revolutionised cardiovascular disease diagnosis and monitoring in humans and animal models. Real-time (RT) MRI, which can capture a single slice during each consecutive heartbea...
Optimal selection of X-ray imaging parameters is crucial in coronary angiography and structural cardiac procedures to ensure optimal image quality and minimize radiation exposure. These anatomydependent parameters are organized into customizable orga...
Segmentation and measurement of cardiac chambers from ultrasound is critical, but laborious and poorly reproducible. Neural networks can assist, but supervised approaches require the same problematic manual annotations. We build a pipeline for self-s...
Purpose To develop and evaluate a free-breathing, highly accelerated, multisection, single-beat cine sequence for cardiac MRI. Materials and Methods This prospective study, conducted from July 2022 to December 2023, included participants with various...
