Title: Artificial Intelligence for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is the current gold standard imaging modality for heart, providing in-depth information on cardiac structure, motion, tissue properties etc. However, CMR is traditionally an expensive examination due to its slow imaging and complicated analysis. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant advancements to improve the accessibility of CMR through accelerated acquisition and automated reporting. We will discuss the advancements of AI in the field of CMR, current challenges, and opportunities for future.

14:25-14:50 Keynote: Prof. Xiaobo Qu – Xiamen University, China
Title: Physics-Driven Synthetic Data Artificial Intelligence for Biomedical Magnetic Resonance

Deep learning has driven innovation in the field of biomedical magnetic resonance, but encounters the bottleneck of insufficient or even unavailable training data. In this talk, we will discuss an emerging paradigm, imaging physics-based data synthesis for network training. Signal generation models, enhanced data generation and advanced neural network structures with representative applications, particularly on fast, parametric and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, are discussed.
