PSIRNet: Deep Learning-based Free-breathing Rapid Acquisition Late Enhancement Imaging

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.08781v1 Announce Type: cross Purpose: To develop and evaluate a deep learning (DL) method for free-breathing phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac MRI that produces diagnostic-quality images from a single acquisition over two heartbeats, eliminating the need for 8 to 24 motion-corrected (MOCO) signal averages. Materials and Methods: Raw data comprising 800,653 slices from 55,917 patients, acquired on 1.5T and 3T scanners across multiple sites from 2016 to 2024, were used in this retrospective study.
