  Figure 366-05-001.  T1ρ Mapping Overcomes Steatosis Bias for Accurate MRI-Based Fibrosis Assessment in Chronic Liver Disease
Narine Mesropyan, Christoph Katemann, Oliver Weber, Can Yueksel, Julian Luetkens, Alexander Isaak
University Hospital Bonn, Bonn, Germany
Impact: T1ρ mapping provides a robust, fat-insensitive MRI biomarker for hepatic fibrosis, offering superior accuracy to T1 and ECV across the full spectrum of chronic liver disease, including steatotic liver disease.
  Figure 366-05-002.  3D T1/T2 mapping of prostate using DESPO+: a clinical feasibility study for prostate cancer assesment at 3T
Magna Cum Laude
Ronal Coronado, Jose Miguel Gonzalez, Guillermo Sahonero-Alvarez, Rene Botnar, Claudia Prieto, Cecilia Besa, Pablo Irarrazaval
Núcleo de Investigación en Data Science (NIDS), Santiago, Chile
Impact: Accurate detection of clinically significant prostate cancer is challenged by scan-time limitations and reader variability. DESPO+, a rapid, high-resolution 3D T1/T2 mapping protocol, reduces artifacts and variability, supporting reliable diagnosis of tumors in the peripheral zone, where most cancers occur.
  Figure 366-05-003.  3D T1/T2/T2*/PDFF rosette MRF for renal mass characterization
Gastao Cruz, Evan Cummings, Jacob Richardson, Tom Griesler, Jesse Hamilton, Hero Hussain, Vikas Gulani, Matthew Davenport, Nicole Seiberlich
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, United States of America
Impact: 3D free-breathing T1/T2/T2*/PDFF MRF was able to detect and differentiate an array of renal masses ranging from benign cysts to aggressive cancer. Distinct MR property profiles were revealed, indicating the potential of joint T1/T2/T2*/PDFF for renal mass characterization.
  Figure 366-05-004.  Time-Resolved Multiecho 4D MRI for Robust Free-Breathing PDFF and R2* Quantification Across Field Strengths
Jeffery Wong, Jingjia Chen, Ding Xia, Els Fieremans, Dmitry Novikov, Hersh Chandarana, Li Feng
New York University Grossman School of Medicine, New York, United States of America
Impact: The proposed technique enables reliable and motion-robust quantification of hepatic fat and iron under free breathing without respiratory binning. Its consistent performance across field strengths and under bulk motion supports broad clinical translation, including low-field systems with improved patient comfort.
  Figure 366-05-005.  Comparison of Breath-Hold and Free-Breathing MRI Methods for Liver PDFF and R2* Quantification in an Elderly Cohort
Krystalyn Edwards-Calma, Zackary Kon, Zidan Yu, Nhat Dainelle Vallo, Megan Buras, Kai Tobias Block, Unhee Lim, Christoph Rettenmeier
University of Hawaii, Honolulu, United States of America
Impact: Free-breathing radial MRI-PDFF offers clinically viable liver fat quantification in elderly patients, enabling broader use in breath-hold-intolerant populations. While R2* remains challenging, advanced motion-robust reconstruction holds strong potential to achieve reliable dual fat-iron assessment in routine practice.
  Figure 366-05-006.  Optimization of a Cartesian acquisition with spiral profile ordering (CASPR) for free-breathing pancreatic fat quantification
Philipp Braun, Jonathan Stelter, Stefan Ruschke, Johannes Peeters, Holger Eggers, Kilian Weiss, Daniela Junker, Dimitrios Karampinos
Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany
Impact: This study is the first to utilize a Cartesian acquisition with spiral profile ordering for free-breathing pancreatic fat quantification at an isotropic resolution of 2.5mm. Sequence parameters are optimized with respect to the pancreatic PDFF quantification and delineation.
  Figure 366-05-007.  Repeatability of single-kidney parenchymal shape and size in healthy volunteers
Joao Periquito, Virva Saunavaara, Kanishka Sharma, Kywe Soe, Ajo Thomas, Bashair Alhummiany, Jonathan Fulford, David Shelley, Angela Shore, Nicolas Grenier, Loreto Gesualdo, Paola Pontrelli, Francesca Conserva, Niina Koivuviita, Maria Gomez, Kim Gooding, Steven Sourbron
The University of Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom
Impact: These findings provide reference repeatability values for MRI-derived kidney shape metrics, enabling researchers and clinicians to distinguish true anatomical changes from measurement noise. This supports reliable use of automated MRI biomarkers in multi-site studies and clinical management of kidney diseases.
  Figure 366-05-008.  Variable Flip Angle T1 mapping of the liver at 0.55T
Majd Helo, Marcel Dominik Nickel, Thomas Küstner
University Hospital of Tuebingen, Tuebingen, Germany
Impact: At 0.55 T, the high B1+ homogeneity and DL reconstruction allow standard VFA acquisitions to achieve accurate liver T1 mapping without separate B1+ calibration or correction and substantially simplifying quantitative T1 mapping compared to high-field systems.
  Figure 366-05-009.  Spiral-QALAS for Fast High-resolution Abdominal Quantitative Mapping
Yuting Chen, Onur Afacan, Yohan Jun, Xingwang Yong, Shohei Fujita, Paul Dubovan, Huafeng Liu, Huihui Ye, Borjan Gagoski, Sila Kurugol, Berkin Bilgic, Cemre Ariyurek
College of Optical Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China
Impact: Spiral-QALAS enables free-breathing, high-resolution abdominal T1 and T2 mapping, overcoming key limitations of motion and low spatial resolution to facilitate practical quantitative imaging in pediatric and uncooperative patients.
  Figure 366-05-010.  Quantitative Pelvic MRI Reveals Altered Anal Canal and Pelvic Floor Morphology in Anal Fistula: Links to Severity/Recurrence
Zhengxin Ni, Jia Wang, Qiu Guang, Peng Wu, Lu Zhang, Chen Geng, Zhihui Fu
Suzhou TCM Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, Suzhou, China
Impact: These findings establish quantitative MRI as a biomarker for predicting fistula recurrence and complexity, enabling personalized surgical planning. This prompts an investigation into how pelvic anatomy influences pathogenesis and whether pre-operative morphometry improves outcomes.
  Figure 366-05-011.  Accelerated motion-corrected simultaneous 3D water T1 and T2 mapping in the abdomen
Jonathan Stelter, Kilian Weiss, Lisa Steinhelfer, Jakob Meineke, Rickmer Braren, Dimitrios Karampinos
Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany
Impact: An accelerated simultaneous 3D water T1 and T2 mapping method is proposed using a shortened acquisition and non-rigid motion correction, enabling 2.5mm isotropic resolution in a 5:30min scan and improving clinical applicability for diffuse and focal abdominal disease assessment.
  Figure 366-05-012.  Feasibility of Three Echo Sequence for Abdominal Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping: A Preliminary Study
Lujie Li, Meng Wang, Boyan Xu, Xueying Zhao, Tao Wu, Zhi Dong, Shiting Feng
The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, China
Impact: Three-echo QSM has similar abdominal image quality to 6-echo, supporting its use to reduce acquisition time, despite higher fat-related variability.
  Figure 366-05-013.  Quantitative synthetic MRI for preoperative assessment of rectal cancer: an independent validation study
Jingyu Zhong, Jiankun Dai, Huan Zhang
Tongren hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China
Impact: The single-center study did not guarantee the diagnostic performance of quantitative synthetic MRI metrics for preoperative assessment of rectal cancer. Independent validation with multi-center cohorts is necessary to improve inter-center generalizability before more widely clinical use.
  Figure 366-05-014.  Sub-millisecond ZTE MRI for Dynamic Vocal Fold Surface Measurements: Comparison with Structured Light 3D Endoscopy
Paula Jordan, Johannes Fischer, Fiona Stritt, Bogac Tur, Marion Semmler, Matthias Echternach, Louisa Traser, Stefan Kniesburges, Bernhard Richter, Michael Bock
University Medical Center Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany
Impact: Dynamic 3D reconstructions of the VF motion provide new insights into voice production. Agreement with other imaging methods is an essential pre-requisite to apply the technique in voice research and clinical diagnostics.
