Democratizing cardiac imaging with an automated magnetic resonance exam.

ABSTRACT: Advanced imaging of the heart, including cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), has revolutionized the diagnosis and prognosis for cardiovascular disease^1-3. For the past 40 years, CMR has primarily relied on the acquisition of numerous breath-held 2D images resulting in complex scanner operation, patient discomfort, long scan durations, and cumbersome image interpretation^4,5. These limitations constrain CMR use to major academic hospital systems and severely limit patient access to CMR, which makes up < 1% of total cardiovascular imaging despite being represented in two thirds of all AHA/ACC guidelines^6,7. By leveraging advanced multidimensional physics and artificial intelligence, we overcome these challenges by developing a 30-minute end-to-end
