Cardiovascular MRI (CMRI) is a non-invasive imaging technique adopted for assessing the blood circulatory system's structure and function. Precise image segmentation is required to measure cardiac parameters and diagnose abnormalities through CMRI da...
PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a deep learning (DL) -based rapid image reconstruction and motion correction technique for high-resolution Cartesian first-pass myocardial perfusion imaging at 3T with whole-heart coverage for both single-slice (SS) a...
In cardiac cine imaging, acquiring high-quality data is challenging and time-consuming due to the artifacts generated by the heart's continuous movement. Volumetric, fully isotropic data acquisition with high temporal resolution is, to date, intracta...
Total Cardiac Volume (TCV)-based size matching using Computed Tomography (CT) is a novel technique to compare donor and recipient heart size in pediatric heart transplant that may increase overall utilization of available grafts. TCV requires manual ...
3D motion estimation from cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images is important for the assessment of cardiac function and the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Current state-of-the art methods focus on estimating dense pixel-/voxel-wise moti...
The purpose of the current study was to explore the feasibility of training a deep neural network to accelerate the process of generating T1, T2, and T1ρ maps for a recently proposed free-breathing cardiac multiparametric mapping technique, where a r...
Focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) is a valuable point-of-care method for evaluating cardiovascular structures and function, but its scope is limited by equipment and operator's experience, resulting in primarily qualitative 2D exams. This study pres...
