Synopsis

In cardiac MRI, the Late Gadolinium Enhancement technique is usually performed after inversion recovery scout sequences that are acquired to null the myocardial properly for optimal image contrast. In clinical practice, the selection and adjustment of the inversion time for healthy myocardium nulling are manually performed. To standardize and automate the process, we propose an automated deep-learning-based system combined with a linear regression model, which automates the selection of the inversion time, taking into consideration the time delay between the inversion time scout and LGE sequences. In this work, we validated the system in a large retrospective study (N=765).
