Synopsis
Black-blood late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging techniques have been introduced to improve the poor scar to blood contrast of bright-blood LGE, especially for subendocardial myocardial infarction. These techniques heavily rely on the manual selection of the optimal inversion time (TI) for blood nulling which makes them operator-dependent, reduce their reproducibility and decrease clinical workflow efficiency. In this work, we investigate whether an explainable image processing technique can be employed for automated TI selection to enable fully automated black-blood LGE.
