Development of an automated, reliable, and clinically meaningful artificial intelligence (AI) tool for diagnosing cardiac disease from conventional cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images
Aims: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging enables non-invasive assessment of myocardial structure, function, and pathology, but requires substantial experience in interpretation of CMR images that could be supported by artificial intelligence (AI)-based models. However, use of AI models for enhanced CMR reading is limited by labor-intensive data curation, suboptimal model performance, and unclear implementation pathways. Methods and results: We developed an automated data curation pipeline for CMR-based cardiovascular disease (CVD) diagnosis, integrating open-source locally-run lar
