Toward Vision Language Model-based Assessment of Clinical Quality and Usability of LGE-MR Images for Cardiac Ablation Planning
LGE cardiac MRI is widely used for left atrial fibrosis assessment and ablation planning in atrial fibrillation patients as knowledge of fibrotic tissue regions identified from LGE-MRI is critical for catheter ablation. Often, poor quality images used during ablation planning can cause mis-localization of ablation targets, directly impacting procedure safety and outcome. The decision of whether a scan meets the minimum quality threshold for ablation planning is currently made informally by the reviewing radiologist and is not captured by any automated system, yet it is arguably the most safety-critical output of the image quality assessment (IQA) process. However, variations in image qual...
