Accuracy of subject-specific prediction of end-systolic time in MRI across a range of RR intervals

摘要

BackgroundPrediction of End-Systole time is of utmost importance for cardiac MRI to correctly associate acquired k-space lines during reconstruction of cine acquisitions. This prediction is usually based on the patient’s heart rate using Weissler’s formula, which was calibrated by linear regression within a population and cannot account for individual variability.
