Simulated late gadolinium enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging dataset from mechanical XCAT phantom including a myocardial infarct

Abstract

The late enhanced magnetic resonance image dataset in this article is simulated using a mechanistic cardiac phantom that includes an myocardial infarct. Settings of the image simulation pipeline are adjusted such that high- and low-resolution images, with and without slice alignment artifacts, are simulated. Our article on the influence of image artifacts on image-based models of the cardiac electrophysiology is based on this data (Kruithof et al., 2021). This dataset provides image-analysis researchers a reference to perform validation of their methods using the included high-resolution ground truth image, a resource that is often unavailable clinically.
