    Abstract: A technique for determining a cardiac metric from rest and stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images is provided. A neural network system for determining at least one cardiac metric from CMR images comprises an input layer configured to receive at least one CMR image representative of a rest perfusion state and at least one CMR image representative of a stress perfusion state. The neural network system further comprises an output layer configured to output at least one cardiac metric based on the at least one CMR image representative of the rest perfusion state and the at least one CMR image representative of the stress perfusion state. The neural network system with interconnections between the input layer and the output layer is trained by a plurality of datasets. Each of the datasets comprises an instance of the at least one CMR image representative of the rest perfusion state and the at least one CMR image representative of the stress perfusion state for the input layer and the at least one cardiac metric for the output layer.

    Abstract: A value indicative of an ejection fraction, EF, of a cardiac chamber of a heart is based on a temporal sequence of cardiac magnetic resonance, CMR, images of the cardiac chamber. A neural network system has an input layer configured to receive the temporal sequence of a stack of slices of the CMR images along an axis of the heart. The temporal sequence is one or multiple consecutive cardiac cycles of the heart. The neural network system has an output layer configured to output the value indicative of the EF based on the temporal sequence. The neural network system has interconnections between the input layer and the output layer and is trained with a plurality of datasets. Each of the datasets comprises an instance temporal sequence of the stack of slices of the CMR images along the axis over one or multiple consecutive cardiac cycles for the input layer and an associated instance value indicative of the EF for the output layer.
