Teams from the Universities of East Anglia (UEA), Sheffield, and Leeds have created an intelligent computer model that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to examine heart images from MRI scans, specifically focusing on the four-chamber plane. The study is published in European Radiology Experimental. The team has pioneered revolutionary 4D...Read more

A new rapid imaging protocol for diagnosing heart disease has been shown to improve care and reduce costs in a resource-poor setting. The rapid Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) protocol was embedded in clinical care with training and education, which resulted in important and frequent patient management changes that appear beneficial for both patients...Read more

A new technique for cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can improve accuracy by removing patients’ need to breathe, as the lack of motion allows acquisition of higher quality images in less time, according to research presented at EuroCMR 2016 in Florence, Italy. “In many imaging techniques, but particularly in CMR, you need a relatively...Read more

According to a study published in JAMA, the prevalence of myocardial scars was nearly 8 percent, of which nearly 80 percent were unrecognised by electrocardiography or clinical evaluation. While ischaemic heart disease continues to be an important public health concern, a large proportion of MIs remain clinically unrecognised. It is thus important...Read more
