Sparse MRI observations reconstructed cardiac displacement accurately
—
in MedicineWhat the study found The study found that a Parametrized-Background Data-Weak (PBDW) approach can reconstruct three-dimensional cardiac displacement fields from sparse magnetic resonance image-like observations accurately. The authors also report two methodological additions: a minibatch worst-case orthogonal matching pursuit sensor-selection method and memory-optimization techniques for vectorial problems. Why the authors say this matters The authors…
Cognitive and respiratory issues were linked to poorer cardiac MR quality
—
in MedicineWhat the study found Cognitive and communication impairment and respiratory compromise were independently associated with poor cardiac MR image quality. The associations remained after a sensitivity analysis that adjusted for repeat imaging. Why the authors say this matters The study suggests that identifying these pre-imaging clinical factors may help explain which patients are more likely…

—
in CardiologyRare case of extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction caused by left anterior descending artery spasm without coronary obstruction, diagnosed using cardiac MRI and OCT imaging.
