Heart failure & cardiomyopathiesCross-sectional study
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Reference Ranges From the Healthy Hearts Consortium
- Cross-sectional study
- international collaborative
- multi-vendor
Analysed with cvi42 (version 5.14 prototype) by 2 expert readers; 3 segmentation methods (smooth, papillary, anatomic)
Authors' conclusion
This work represents a resource with healthy CMR-derived volumetric reference ranges ready for clinical implementation.
