The aim of this project is to develop new cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)

technologies that will enable children with heart disease to be imaged rapidly and

without breath-holds. This would change our current practice and harness the full

potential of CMR in paediatric heart disease. Specifically, we will combine accelerated

acquisition methodologies with machine learning based reconstruction to create high

resolution real-time CMR techniques that can be performed during free breathing. We

will also clinically validate these new technologies in a large patient group to ensure

translation into the clinical environment.
