Germany (453/million), the Czech Republic (399/million) and The Netherlands (341/milllion) all have significant patient populations living with #ICDs. High Bandwidth technology may help such patients to benefit from #cardiacMR. (Data from ESC website.)

🔍 What does #DeepLearning mean for #PediatricMRI? For MRI expert @bacnguyen, it’s about speed and precision. With #DeepResolveBoost, he’s scanning faster and in higher resolution—transforming how pediatric imaging is done.

This #WorldTuberculosisDay, let’s highlight Myocardial Tuberculosis: A Curable Form of Cardiomyopathy in Endemic Countries by Dr Priya Chudgar, et al (Jupiter Hospital, Thane, Mumbai, India). marketing.webassets.siemens-healthineers.com/d7f2e52cf1cf...
#MRI #CardioSky @banksgaia.bsky.social #RadSky

While pericardial tuberculosis is well-documented, myocardial involvement is considered rare. However, despite being treatable, it carries a high mortality rate if not promptly recognized.

📌 Variations in clinical and imaging presentations often lead to diagnostic dilemmas and delays in management.
📌 Early recognition is crucial to prevent sudden cardiac death.
📌 Cardiac MRI plays a key role in detection and workup.
The authors share their experience with histopathologically proven cases of myocardial tuberculosis, aiming to raise awareness of this rare but curable cardiomyopathy.

“For 18 months now, we have been using a fully-automated CMR planning software. Today, I’m excited to share our real-life experience—what worked, what didn’t, and what this means for the future of cardiac MRI,” says Dr. Carl Glessgen, MD, Geneva University Hospitals, Switzerland.
Curious about what AI-based automation means for the accuracy of quantitative imaging and imaging biomarkers?

According to the #EuropeanHeartJournal the likelihood of developing #ValvularHeartDisease (VHD) increases with age. 25% of adults over 60 may have undiagnosed VHD. #CardiacMRI offers comprehensive assessment of the disease. Learn more: marketing.webassets.siemens-healthineers.com/9f382b65996a...

February 14 is the Day of the Coronary Patient—an opportunity to repost High Spatial Resolution Coronary Magnetic Resonance Angiography by Reza Hajhosseiny, @mri-cprieto.bsky.social, et al (@kingscollegelondon.bsky.social).
marketing.webassets.siemens-healthineers.com/4dd530cb46a9...
#CardioSky #MRI

Coronary magnetic resonance angiography (CMRA) could potentially offer a safe, non-invasive alternative for the anatomical assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD), free from ionizing radiation and iodinated contrast agents.

However, image acquisition with conventional free-breathing CMRA frameworks is limited by long and unpredictable scan times, whilst image degradation due to respiratory motion remains a challenge.

The authors present a CMRA framework, designed to overcome some of these challenges by incorporating a highly undersampled Cartesian acquisition with a 2D image navigator to enable 100% respiratory scan efficiency, 2D translational motion correction, and 3D non-rigid motion estimation, which is then fully reconstructed using a 3D patch-based low-rank regularization framework.

This framework has been validated against coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in a single-center trial of 50 patients with suspected CAD. Diagnostic image quality was obtained in 95% of all coronary segments.
The sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value were as follows:
- per-patient, 100%, 74%, and 100%;
- per-vessel, 81%, 88%, and 97%; and
- per-segment, 76%, 95%, and 99%, respectively.
