Myocardial scar (MS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) are vital cardiovascular parameters, conventionally determined using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). However, given the high cost and limited availability of CMR in resource-constra...
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...

BACKGROUND: 4D flow MRI enables assessment of cardiac function and intra-cardiac blood flow dynamics from a single acquisition. However, due to the poor contrast between the chambers and surrounding tissue, quantitative analysis relies on the segment...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The absence of published reference values for multilayer-specific strain measurement using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in young healthy individuals limits its use. This study aimed to establish normal global and layer-s...

INTRODUCTION: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) use is now universal among nonexperts. Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently employed by nonexperts in various imaging modalities to assist in diagnosis and decision making.
The objective of the current study was to develop and evaluate a DEep learning-based rapid Spiral Image REconstruction (DESIRE) and deep learning (DL)-based segmentation approach to quantify the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) for high-reso...
