Super-resolution reconstruction of late gadolinium enhanced MRI from multiple views

Methods A group of 37 post-infarction patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT), who underwent both MRI and a VT catheter ablation procedure with electro-anatomical voltage mapping (EAVM), were included. LGE imaging was performed using a 3D breath-hold inversion recovery turbo-field echo sequence with full ventricular coverage in three views: short-axis (SA), two-chamber, and fourchamber. The three LGE sequences were combined as follows: 1) The inter-scan heart motion was compensated by a joint localized gradient-correlation-based volume registration scheme; 2) The registered volumes were combined into an isotropic volume by the superresolution reconstruction (SRR) technique. The SRR reconstructed volumes were compared to conventional
