Artificial Intelligence for Contrast-Free MRI: Scar Assessment in Myocardial Infarction Using Deep Learning–Based Virtual Native Enhancement

VNE demonstrated high agreement with LGE cardiovascular magnetic resonance for myocardial scar assessment in patients with previous myocardial infarction in visuospatial distribution and lesion quantification with superior image quality. VNE is a potentially transformative artificial intelligence-based technology with promise in reducing scan times and costs, increasing clinical throughput, and improving the accessibility of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in the near future.
