Detection of hypoplastic left heart syndrome anatomy from cardiovascular magnetic resonance images using machine learning
This study presents a tailor-made neural network architecture for detection of 7 distinctive anatomic landmarks in CMR images of patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) in Fontan circulation or healthy controls and demonstrates the potential of the spatial arrangement of the landmarks to identify HLHS. The method was applied to the axial SSFP CMR scans of 46 patients with HLHS and 33 healthy controls.RESULTS: The displacement between predicted and annotated landmark had a standard deviation of 8-17 mm and was larger than the interobserver variability by a factor of 1.1-2.0. A high overall classification accura...

Field camera input to virtual phantom (ViP) scanner acquisitions for quality assurance of derived MRI quantities: first implementation and proof-of-principle
CONCLUSION: First proof-of-principle was discussed and supported by correlation between scanner outputs and the input STO. The work makes no claim that its examples are valid QA methods. It concludes by proposing a new industrial standard for QA without the FC.PMID:38127221 | DOI:10.1007/s10334-023-01136-5 (Source: Magma)
