BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is an important imaging modality for the assessment and management of adult patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). However, conventional techniques for three-dimensional (3D) whole-heart acqu...
OBJECTIVE: This work aimed to derive a machine learning (ML) model for the differentiation between ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) on non-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).

Cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is considered the gold standard for cardiac function evaluation. However, cine CMR acquisition is inherently slow and in recent decades considerable effort has been put into accelerating scan times withou...
In recent years, a variety of deep learning networks for cardiac MRI (CMR) segmentation have been developed and analyzed. However, nearly all of them are focused on cine CMR under breathold. In this work, accuracy of deep learning methods is assessed...

Cine cardiac MRI sequences require repeated breath-holds, which can be difficult for patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). The purpose of the study was to compare a free-breathing accelerated cine sequence using deep learning (DL) reconstruct...
BACKGROUND: Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are at risk of sudden death, and individuals with ≥1 major risk markers are considered for primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. Guidelines recommend cardiac magnetic r...
