Cardiac Magnetic Resonance

From Spins to Pictures to Digital Organs and back

The presentation covers the breadth of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR), from physics to digital twinning and data synthesis. Beginning with conventional CMR techniques for assessing anatomy, function, and tissue characterisation, the talk delves into advanced metabolic and diffusion tensor imaging, including hyperpolarized 13C imaging and myocardial microstructure mapping and their integration to boost information yield. Recent methods such as 5D flow imaging, low-field concurrent imaging of flow and function, and advanced biophysical data synthesis are showcased. Some thoughts on the strategic integration of AI to optimise the imaging chain while preserving patient-specific information are included, emphasising the critical importance of furthering information encoding at the source.
