• Abstract summary: We develop and validate a robust AI tool for start-to-end automatic quantification of cardiac function from SAX cine CMR in large clinical databases. Our proposed tool combines image pre-processing steps, a domain-generalisable AI algorithm trained on a large-scale multi-domain CMR dataset and quality control steps. This enables translation of our tool for use in fully-automated processing of large multi-centre databases.

• Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been proposed for automating analysis of short axis (SAX) cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), but no CMR analysis tool exists to automatically analyse large (unstructured) clinical CMR datasets. We develop and validate a robust AI tool for start-to-end automatic quantification of cardiac function from SAX cine CMR in large clinical databases. Our pipeline for processing and analysing CMR databases includes automated steps to identify the correct data, robust image pre-processing, an AI algorithm for biventricular segmentation of SAX CMR and estimation of functional biomarkers, and automated post-analysis quality control to detect and correct errors. The segmentation algorithm was trained on 2793 CMR scans from two NHS hospitals and validated on additional cases from this dataset (n=414) and five external datasets (n=6888), including scans of patients with a range of diseases acquired at 12 different centres using CMR scanners from all major vendors. Median absolute errors in cardiac biomarkers were within the range of inter-observer variability: <8.4mL (left ventricle volume), <9.2mL (right ventricle volume), <13.3g (left ventricular mass), and <5.9% (ejection fraction) across all datasets. Stratification of cases according to phenotypes of cardiac disease and scanner vendors showed good performance across all groups. We show that our proposed tool, which combines image pre-processing steps, a domain-generalisable AI algorithm trained on a large-scale multi-domain CMR dataset and quality control steps, allows robust analysis of (clinical or research) databases from multiple centres, vendors, and cardiac diseases. This enables translation of our tool for use in fully-automated processing of large multi-centre databases.

  Resting-state MRI functional (rs-fMRI) is increasingly employed in multi-site research to aid neurological disorder analysis. Many methods have been proposed to reduce fMRI heterogeneity between source and target domains. But acquiring source data is challenging due to concerns and/or data storage burdens in multi-site studies. We design a source-free collaborative domain adaptation framework for fMRI analysis, where only a pretrained source model and unlabeled target data are accessible.

Our end-to-end framework i) classifies MRI sequences using an ensemble classifier, ii) preprocesses the data in a reproducible manner, and iv) delineates tumor tissue subtypes. It is robust to missing sequences and adopts an expert-in-the-loop approach, where the segmentation results may be manually refined by radiologists.
