Emerging MRI techniques for molecular and functional phenotyping of the diseased heart
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recent advances in cardiac MRI (CMR) capabilities have truly transformed its potential for deep phenotyping of the diseased heart. Long known for its unparalleled soft tissue contrast and excellent depiction of three-dimensional (3D) structure, CMR now boasts a range of unique capabilities for probing disease at the tissue and molecular level. We can look beyond coronary vessel blockages and detect vessel disease not visible on a structural level. We can assess if early fibrotic tissue is being laid down in between viable cardiac muscle cells. We can measure deformation of the heart wall to determine early presentation of stiffening. We can even assess how cardiomyocytes are utilizing energy, where abnormalities are often precursors to overt structural and functional deficits. Finally, with artificial intelligence gaining traction due to the high computing power available today, deep learning has proven itself a viable contender with traditional acceleration techniques for real-time CMR. In this review, we will survey five key emerging MRI techniques that have the potential to transform the CMR clinic and permit early detection and intervention. The emerging areas are: (1) imaging microvascular dysfunction, (2) imaging fibrosis, (3) imaging strain, (4) imaging early metabolic changes, and (5) deep learning for acceleration. Through a concerted effort to develop and translate these areas into the CMR clinic, we are committing ourselves to actualizing early diagnostics for the most intractable heart disease phenotypes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
