BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional (3D) whole-heart magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent tool to check the heart anatomy of patients with congenital and acquired heart disease. However, most 3D whole-heart MRI acquisitions take a long time to ...
Cardiac T1 mapping can evaluate various clinical symptoms of myocardial tissue. However, there is currently a lack of effective, robust, and efficient methods for motion correction in cardiac T1 mapping. In this paper, we propose a deep learning-base...
This paper introduces a deep learning method for myocardial strain analysis while also evaluating the efficacy of the method across a public and a private dataset for cardiac pathology discrimination.We measure the global and regional myocardial stra...
Computational models that can predict growth and remodeling of the heart could have important clinical applications. However, the time it takes to calibrate and run current models while considering data uncertainty and variability makes them impracti...

BACKGROUND: In myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), ungated studies are used for evaluation of perfusion defects despite motion blur. We investigate the potential benefit of motion correction usi...
BACKGROUND: Cardiac cine MRI is the gold standard for cardiac functional assessment, but the inherently slow acquisition process creates the necessity of reconstruction approaches for accelerated undersampled acquisitions. Several regularization appr...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The volunteer deep inspiration breath hold (vDIBH) technique is used to reduce the heart dose in left breast cancer radiotherapy. Many times, it is faced that despite rigorous exercise and training, not all patients get bene...
BACKGROUND: Accurate and automatic segmentation of pericardial adipose tissue (PEAT) in cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Precise segmentation is challenging due to high co...

BACKGROUND: Four-dimensional CT is increasingly used for functional cardiac imaging, including prognosis for conditions such as heart failure and post myocardial infarction. However, radiation dose from an acquisition spanning the full cardiac cycle ...
Purpose To assess the influence of deep learning (DL)-based image reconstruction on acquisition time, volumetric results, and image quality of cine sequences in cardiac MRI. Materials and Methods This prospective study (performed from January 2023 to...
