BACKGROUND: Quantification of chamber size and systolic function is a fundamental component of cardiac imaging. However, the human heart is a complex structure with significant uncharacterized phenotypic variation beyond traditional metrics of size a...
Left ventricular mass is a risk marker for cardiovascular events, and may indicate an underlying cardiomyopathy. Cardiac magnetic resonance is the gold-standard for left ventricular mass estimation, but is challenging to obtain at scale. Here, we use...

This study aimed to assess the image quality and accuracy of respiratory-gated real-time two-dimensional (2D) cine incorporating deep learning reconstruction (DLR) for the quantification of biventricular volumes and function compared with those of th...
BACKGROUND: 4D flow MRI allows the analysis of hemodynamic changes in the aorta caused by pathologies such as thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA). For personalized management of TAA, new biomarkers are required to analyze the effect of fluid structure it...
PURPOSE: To introduce a model that describes the effects of rigid translation due to respiratory motion in displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) and to use the model to develop a deep convolutional neural network to aid in first-order ...
OBJECTIVES: Time-resolved, 2D-phase-contrast MRI (2D-CINE-PC-MRI) enables in vivo blood flow analysis. However, accurate vessel contour delineation (VCD) is required to achieve reliable results. We sought to evaluate manual analysis (MA) compared to ...
