Cardiac Phase-resolved Blood-Oxygen-Level-Dependent
(CP-BOLD) MRI has been recently demonstrated to detect
an ongoing myocardial ischemia at rest, taking advantage
of spatio-temporal patterns in myocardial signal
intensities, which are modulated by the presence of
disease. However, this approach does require significant
post-processing to detect the disease and to this day
only a few images of the acquisition are used coupled
with fixed thresholds to establish biomarkers. We
propose a threshold-free unsupervised approach, based on
dictionary learning and one-class support vector
machines, which can generate a probabilistic ischemia
likelihood map.
