Pipeline for myocardium T₁ map reconstruction. The myocardium in an input T₁ weighted (T₁w) image is first segmented using a fully convolutional neural network (FCN). The segmented myocardium is refined if needed (see text for details) and transformed into polar coordinates. All T₁w images at a given slice are used to estimate the myocardium T₁ map, which is displayed after applying inverse polar transformation
