Synopsis

The free-running framework (FRF) was recently proposed to address the limitations of current techniques to assess left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF). However, the accuracy of FRF to assess LVEF has yet to be quantitatively examined. This work rigorously quantifies and optimizes the effect of the regularization weights on LVEF and several image quality metrics using a numerical phantom with well-controlled boundary conditions, and validates the results in in-vivo 5D FRF data. The results demonstrated that the combination of regularization weights that are optimal in terms of image quality do not correspond to the optimal weights for LVEF assessment.
