Zusammenfassung:In cardiac cine imaging, acquiring high-quality data is challenging and time-consuming due to the artifacts generated by the heart's continuous movement. Volumetric, fully isotropic data acquisition with high temporal resolution is, to date, intractable due to MR physics constraints. To assess whole-heart movement under minimal acquisition time, we propose a deep learning model that reconstructs the volumetric shape of multiple cardiac chambers from a limited number of input slices while simultaneously optimizing the slice acquisition orientation for this task. We mimic the current clinical protocols for cardiac imaging and compare the shape reconstruction quality of standard clinical views and optimized views. In our experiments, we show that the jointly trained model achieves accurate high-resolution multi-chamber shape reconstruction with errors of 80%, indicating its effectiveness in both simulated cardiac cine MRI and clinical cardiac MRI with a wide range of pathological shape variations.
