Overview:
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of death worldwide. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as a powerful diagnostic test for the assessment of CVDs. However, several challenges remain to be solved, e.g., ensuring full heart coverage and motion compensation, and new ones are arising with the increasing trend of artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods. Questions are being raised about how AI will affect the role of clinicians, and how it can safely contribute to the clinical CMR workflow. Thus, to build trustworthy and ethical AI solutions, it is essential to bridge the gap between the clinical and scientific communities.

This 2-hour tutorial brings together physicians, physicists, engineers, radiographers, and AI scientists to educate, using examples, about the basics and challenges of CMR and the role of AI in clinics. It aims to provide a clinical background, indicate emerging AI methods, and discuss the need for AI-assisted solutions. It will cover state-of-the-art acquisition, reconstruction and motion correction methods and current AI research. In this CMR rodeo, speakers will take turns presenting short reviews of each topic (how it is currently done, what is missing, and how can AI help) for different CMR cases, which challenges the other speakers and audience to join the rodeo in a panel discussion. This tutorial builds-up on previous MITs at ISMRM 21/22 (ismrm-mit-cmr.github.io) to foster discussions about the future of AI in CMR.

In this CMR Rodeo, speakers will take turns presenting short reviews of each topic - how it is currently done, what is missing and how can artificial intelligence help - for different CMR cases, which challenges the other speakers and audience to join the rodeo in a panel discussion. Each speaker will talk for about 5 min followed by Q&A and panel discussion of about 15 min. There will be 3 rounds in this CMR Rodeo! We are counting on your participation! Prizes will be given out each go-round. Get your ropes ready!

Target Audience:
Physicians, radiographers, physicists, engineers, who wish to understand the role and limitations of AI in clinical CMR.

As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Explain basic cardiac anatomy, cardiovascular diseases, and its characterization by CMR and other diagnostic tool;
- Describe the basic CMR examination and recognize the advantages and limitations of the technique;
- Explain the basics of CMR imaging and motion correction; and
- Explain the basics of deep learning-based methods for AI-assisted CMR with focus on image reconstruction.
