		568-03-001. Stratifying non-alcoholic fatty liver disease using diffusion-weighted imaging–based habitat imaging: a rabbit model study Jiale Hang, Xianfu Luo, Furong Wan, Zhaorong Wang, Jie Shi Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital, Yangzhou, China Impact: Diffusion-based habitat imaging provides a novel multiparametric framework for visualizing hepatic microstructural heterogeneity, enabling noninvasive and accurate stratification of NAFLD and early detection of NASH.
		568-03-002. Assessment of Liver Metabolic Alterations in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis Using Hyperpolarized 13C-MRSI Abdelazim Elsayed Elhelaly, Fuminori Hyodo, Hirohiko Imai, Yoshifumi Noda, Hiroki Kato, Masayuki Matsuo Gifu University, Gifu, Japan Impact: This study underscores the potential of hyperpolarized 13C-MRSI as a sensitive, non-invasive method for investigating progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. It may improve its clinical management by facilitating early diagnosis and monitoring, potentially obviating the need for invasive liver biopsy.
		568-03-003. GRASP DCE-MRI uncovers early portal hyperperfusion and suppressed hepatocyte uptake after liver transplantation zhengzheng tao, Yi Li, Chen Zhang, Jinxia ZHU, qian ji Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital, National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Tianjin’s Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Key Laboratory of Cancer Immunology and Biotherapy, Tianjin, China Impact: GRASP MRI spots graft flow-uplink mismatch early, guiding safer taper of immunosuppression and timely rescue protocols.
		568-03-004. Real world utility of B1corrected T1 mapping MRI imaging in detecting Liver fibrosis - Comparison with MR and US Elastography Kaustav Bera, Zhiqing Yin, Sohrab Afshari Mirak, Rasim Boyacioglu, Leonardo BIttencourt, Yong Chen, Sree Harsha Tirumani University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio, United States of America Impact: The study demonstrates the real world utility of B1-corrected T1 mapping as a surrogate for MR elastography based Liver stiffness in assessing liver fibrosis. We also show that it is more accurate than other markers such as Fibroscan, ELF score.
		568-03-005. Wideband MR Elastography for Assessing Hepatic Stiffness and Fluidity in Chronic Liver Disease Jakob Schattenfroh, Steffen Häseli, Tobias Püngel, Yanglei Wu, Tom Meyer, Jing Guo, Ingolf Sack, Rolf Reiter Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany Impact: Wideband MRE quantifies the frequency dispersion of mechanical tissue properties across a wide dynamic range from 5 to 80 Hz to deduce novel biomarkers of inflammation and fibrosis in chronic liver disease.
		568-03-006. Feasibility of free-breathing liver T1 and T2 mapping using 3D radial phase-cycled balanced steady-state free-precession Matteo Tagliabue, Joseph Woods, Berk Can Acikgoz, Nils Plähn, Eva Peper, Verena Obmann, Adrian Huber, Naik Vietti-Violi, Jessica Bastiaansen Swiss Institute for Translational and Entrepreneurial Medicine, Bern, Switzerland Impact: This study provieds an improved quantitative liver mapping by overcoming fat-related confounders of conventional slice-based methods. A free-breathing 3D radial phase-cycled bSSFP with water excitation allows comprehensive and unbiased characterization of liver tissue.
		568-03-007. Clinical Evaluation of a Rapid Deep Learning Reconstructed Free-Breathing 2D CSE Imaging Sequence for Liver Quantification Eugene Milshteyn, Nathan Roberts, Arnaud Guidon, Rory Cochran, Mukesh Harisinghani, Amirkasra Mojtahed GE HealthCare, San Ramon, United States of America Impact: Free breathing deep learning reconstructed 2DFAM CSE-MRI shows promise as a routine tool in clinical liver fat and iron quantitation.
		568-03-008. IVIM Parameters Combined with GPR Serological Model: A Novel Strategy to Enhance Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Early Liver Fibros Le sheng Huang, Tian zhu Liu, Jun Chen, Jiahui Tang, Wanchun Zhang, Kai lian Yang Impact: The combined IVIM-GPR approach provides a reliable, non-invasive biomarker for early liver fibrosis detection. This strategy enhances diagnostic accuracy and supports personalized management for chronic liver disease patients.
		568-03-009. Relaxivities and Liver Enhancement of Gadopiclenol versus Gadobenate: A Randomized Cross-Over Study Julius Heidenreich, Daiki Tamada, James Rice, Felix Schön, Garrett Fullerton, Ali Pirasteh, Scott Reeder University Hospital Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany Impact: Gadopiclenol at 0.05 mmol/kg yields comparable enhancement in liver, lesion and muscle to 0.1 mmol/kg gadobenate, but increased enhancement at 0.1 mmol/kg. Although lesion conspicuity was relatively unchanged, SNR gain may improve image quality and diagnostic confidence in liver MRI.
		568-03-010. Multicenter repeatability of diffusion-weighted MRI in liver tumors on a hybrid 1.5 T MRI-linear accelerator Jonas Habrich, Vivian W. J. van Pelt, Damien McHugh, Andreas Wetscherek, Tim Schakel, Marijn Kruiskamp, Jihong Wang, Marlies E Nowee, Ulke van der Heide, Eric S Paulson, Daniela Thorwarth, Petra van Houdt Section for Biomedical Physics, Tübingen, Germany Impact: Motion suppression through an abdominal compression belt improves diffusion-weighted MRI repeatability for patients with liver cancer imaged on a hybrid MR-linear accelerator. However, repeatability remains poor, stressing the need for better motion compensation or correction techniques.
		568-03-011. Deep-learning Synthesized Hepatobiliary Phase Image Streamline Workflow of Gd-EOB-DTPA Liver MRI: A Prospective Study Kaixuan Zhao, Yan Liu, Xin Chen, Chenyi Xie, Yajing Zhang, Yongzhou Xu, Yiming Wang, Thoralf Niendorf, Guangyi Wang, Zaiyi Liu The Third Affiliated Hospital Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China Impact: This single-center prospective study demonstrated that deep-learning synthesized hepatobiliary phase (HBP) has comparable image quality, similar lesion conspicuity, and non-inferiority lesion detection performance as acquired HBP, suggesting that deep-learning synthesized HBP might greatly streamline the clinical workflow.
		568-03-012.
