Antje HellwichNext-Generation Cardiac #MRI: Simplifying the Complex with AutoMate Cardiac by Seung Su Yoon, Jens Wetzl, et al. (Siemens Healthineers).
AutoMate Cardiac is a fully automated #CMR exam that uses a combination of deep learning networks to perform three key tasks:
1. AutoPositioning - automatically prescribing slices
2. AutoRestingPhase - determining quiescent ECG phases
3. AutoTI - setting the optimal inversion time
Access to CMR: Delivering Cutting-Edge Technology to Patients in Medically Underserved Areas.
Dr. Kevin Steel, DO, FACC, FSCMR, Director of Cardiac #MRI for PeaceHealth Medical Center, Billingham, WA, USA shares strategies for establishing a successful non-academic CMR program.
Freestanding stress CMR programs are a critical need in many regions. Learn how to make them a reality here: https://marketing.webassets.siemens-healthineers.com/2616a2511edfc1da/bf866a7957e0/siemens-healthineers_Steel_Access_to_CMR.pdf
Optimizing Cardiac #MRI Workflow with Beat Sensor Technology: How We Do It
by Thomas Küstner, PhD; et al. (University Hospital Tübingen, Germany).
The authors share their experiences with the Beat Sensor and provide tips for cases where ECG electrodes are still necessary.
Their findings suggest that the Beat Sensor is a reliable non-invasive alternative to ECG, improving workflow efficiency and patient comfort.

Distortion-free Diffusion-weighted Imaging Based on a TGSE BLADE Sequence: Technique and Clinical Application.
Kun Zhou, PhD and Wei Liu, PhD (Siemens Healthineers, Shenzhen, China) introduce this promising alternative to EPI DWI for detecting pathologies in regions with strong B0 inhomogeneities.
The TGSE BLADE DWI sequence samples a train of spin echoes and gradient echoes, and can generate distortion-free DWI images.
