Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older who are scheduled for a clinically indicated cardiac MRI at the enrolling hospital and can provide informed consent are eligible.
✕Probably not a fit
People with contraindications to MRI, those who cannot complete the exam, minors, or those whose images are non-diagnostic are unlikely to benefit from participation.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Adults who underwent cardiac MRI at a single tertiary center are randomized into two groups: one scanned with deep learning–based reconstruction sequences and the other with conventional non-AI sequences. Image datasets from both groups will be compared for diagnostic image quality, adequacy for clinical interpretation, and related scan parameters. Patients with contraindications to MRI or incomplete scans are excluded. The work is performed at Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could yield clearer or faster cardiac MRI scans that improve diagnostic confidence for clinicians and patients.
How similar studies have gone: Similar deep learning reconstruction methods have shown promising improvements in MRI image quality and scan efficiency in cardiac and other MRI applications, though broader clinical adoption is still emerging.
