BACKGROUND: Deep learning is the state-of-the-art approach for automated segmentation of the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images. However, these models have been mostly trained and validated ...
BACKGROUND: Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a standard technique for diagnosing myocardial infarction (MI), which, however, poses risks due to gadolinium contrast usage. Techniques enabling MI assessment based on...
