Automated selection of myocardial inversion time with a convolutional neural network: Spatial temporal ensemble myocardium inversion network (STEMI-NET).

In this study, we show that a CNN is capable of automated prediction of myocardial TI from an inversion-recovery experiment. Merging the spatial and temporal characteristics of the VGG-19 and long short-term-memory CNN structures appears to be sufficient to predict myocardial TI from TI scout.
