"Data-Driven" Starts with "Data": How to Acquire Rich Data for Quantitative CMR

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session introduces advanced strategies for quantitative cardiac MRI, with the first talk focused on how to acquire rich, multi-parametric data. The speaker contrasts conventional single-parameter mapping, which measures one property at a time through repeated scans, with multi-parametric approaches that capture several tissue properties in one acquisition. Methods discussed include interleaved mapping, block-equation and dictionary-based modeling, and MR fingerprinting. These techniques can improve efficiency, reduce parameter crosstalk, and support free-breathing, 3D, and motion-resolved imaging. Examples include simultaneous T1/T2/T2* mapping, fat fraction imaging, synthetic contrast imaging, and multitasking frameworks that reconstruct cardiac and respiratory motion. The talk emphasizes that multi-parametric CMR is quantitative, more patient-friendly, and well suited for deep learning and radiomics.
