Automating quality control in cardiac magnetic resonance: Artificial intelligence for discriminative assessment of planning and motion artifacts and real-time reacquisition guidance.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Accurate measurements from cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images require precise positioning of scan planes and elimination of motion artifacts from arrhythmia or breathing. Unidentified or incorrectly managed artifacts degrade image quality, invalidate clinical measurements, and decrease diagnostic confidence. Currently, radiographers must manually inspect each acquired image to confirm diagnostic quality and decide whether reacquisition or a change in sequences is warranted. We aimed to develop artificial intelligence (AI) to provide continuous quality scores across different quality domains, and from these, determine whether cines are clinically adequate, require replanning, or warrant a change in protocol.

Methods

A three-dimensional convolutional neu
