Tissue-Based Predictors of Impaired Right Ventricular Strain in Coronary Artery Disease: A Multicenter Stress Perfusion Study.
Journal Article Circ Cardiovasc Imaging · August 2024 BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is known to impact prognosis, but its determinants in coronary artery disease are poorly understood. Stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been used to assess ischemia and infarction in relation to the l ...

Journal Article Radiol Cardiothorac Imaging · June 2024 Purpose To develop a deep learning model for increasing cardiac cine frame rate while maintaining spatial resolution and scan time. Materials and Methods A transformer-based model was trained and tested on a retrospective sample of cine images from 5840 pa ...

Journal Article J Magn Reson Imaging · January 2024 BACKGROUND: In cardiac T1 mapping, a series of T1 -weighted (T1 w) images are collected and numerically fitted to a two or three-parameter model of the signal recovery to estimate voxel-wise T1 values. To reduce the scan time, one can collect fewer T1 w im ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
