Stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance is an important technique for examining and assessing the blood supply of the myocardium. Currently, the majority of clinical perfusion scans are evaluated based on visual assessment by experienced clinicia...
This paper proposes the use of artificial intelligence techniques, specifically the nnU-Net convolutional neural network, to improve the identification of left ventricular walls in images of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, with the objective of im...
OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate deep learning (DL)-models that denoise late iodine enhancement (LIE) images and enable accurate extracellular volume (ECV) quantification.

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: Stress myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging (MPI) has been used to diagnose and predict the prognoses of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). An ongoing multicenter collaboration establis...
