BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Supervised Machine Learning techniques have shown significant potential in medical image analysis. However, the training data that need to be collected for these techniques in the field of MRI 1) may not be available, 2) may...
Identifying organs/tissue and pathology on radiological and microscopic images can be performed using convolutional neural networks (CNN). However, there are scant studies on applying CNN to post-mortem gross images of visceral organs. This proof-of-...
Ischaemic heart disease is among the most frequent causes of death. Early detection of myocardial pathologies can increase the benefit of therapy and reduce the number of lethal cases. Presence of myocardial scar is an indicator for developing ischae...

BACKGROUND: Tissue characterisation with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) parametric mapping has the potential to detect and quantify both focal and diffuse alterations in myocardial structure not assessable by late gadolinium enhancement. Nat...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) are two important categories of AI algorithms. Nowadays, AI technology has been gradually applied to cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI), covering the fields of myocardial contrast...
PURPOSE: Cardiac motion tracking enables quantitative evaluation of myocardial strain, which is clinically interesting in cardiovascular disease research. However, motion tracking is difficult to perform manually. In this paper, we aim to develop and...
