While cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is less accessible, CMR can provide unique tissue characterization including late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), T1 and T2 mapping, and extracellular volume (ECV) which are associated with tissue fibrosis, infiltration, and inflammation.

A video-based convolutional neural network was trained on echocardiography videos to predict CMR-derived labels including LGE presence, and abnormal T1, T2 or ECV across echocardiography views.
