This is a consortium of large children's cohorts that contain measurements major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in childhood and had the ability to follow those into adulthood. The purpose this enable pooling data increase power, most importantly for follow-up CVD events Within consortium, we hope be able obtain on independent effects early adult levels subsequent occurrence.
To develop a three-dimensional (two dimensions + time) convolutional neural network trained with displacement encoding stimulated echoes (DENSE) data for and strain analysis of cine MRI.In this retrospective multicenter study, deep learning model (StrainNet) was developed to predict intramyocardial from contour motion.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) measures heart motion by myocardial into the signal phase, facilitating high accuracy and reproducibility of global segmental strain providing benefits in clinical performance. While conventional methods for analysis DENSE images are faster than those tagging, they still require manual user assistance. The present study developed evaluated deep learning fully-automatic analysis.
While multiple cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) methods provide excellent reproducibility of global circumferential and longitudinal strain, achieving highly reproducible segmental strain is more challenging. Previous single-center studies have demonstrated displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) strain. The present study evaluated the DENSE for measurement whole-slice or (Ecc), (Ell) radial (Err) torsion, Ecc at centers. Six centers participated a total 81 subjects were...
Abstract Purpose The aim of the work is to develop a cascaded diffusion‐based super‐resolution model for low‐resolution (LR) MR tagging acquisitions, which integrated with parallel imaging achieve highly accelerated while enhancing tag grid quality images.

During training, we retrospectively synthesized LR using an...
Introduction Myocardial perfusion MRI is important for diagnosing coronary artery disease, but current clinical methods face challenges in balancing spatial resolution, temporal and slice coverage. Achieving broader coverage higher resolution essential accurately detecting abnormalities across different locations remains difficult due to constraints acquisition speed heart rate variability. While techniques like parallel imaging compressed sensing have significantly advanced imaging, they...
