The beating heart: artificial intelligence for cardiovascular application in the clinic

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) integration in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging presents new and exciting avenues for advancing patient care, automating post-processing tasks, and enhancing diagnostic precision and outcomes. The use of AI significantly streamlines the examination workflow through the reduction of acquisition and postprocessing durations, coupled with the automation of scan planning and acquisition parameters selection. This has led to a notable improvement in examination workflow efficiency, a reduction in operator variability, and an enhancement in overall image quality. Importantly, AI unlocks new possibilities to achieve spatial resolutions that were previously unattainable in patients. Furthermore, the potential for low-dose and contrast-agent-free imaging represents a stride toward safer and more patient-friendly diagnostic procedures. Beyond these benefits, AI facilitates precise risk stratification and prognosis evaluation by adeptly analysing extensive datasets. This comprehensive review article explores recent applications of AI in the realm of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, offering insights into its transformative potential in the field.
