T1ρ Mapping Overcomes Steatosis Bias for Accurate MRI-Based Fibrosis Assessment in Chronic Liver Disease
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.

3D T1/T2 mapping of prostate using DESPO+: a clinical feasibility study for prostate cancer assesment at 3T
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.

3D T1/T2/T2*/PDFF rosette MRF for renal mass characterization
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.

Time-Resolved Multiecho 4D MRI for Robust Free-Breathing PDFF and R2* Quantification Across Field Strengths
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.

Comparison of Breath-Hold and Free-Breathing MRI Methods for Liver PDFF and R2* Quantification in an Elderly Cohort
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.

Optimization of a Cartesian acquisition with spiral profile ordering (CASPR) for free-breathing pancreatic fat quantification
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.

Repeatability of single-kidney parenchymal shape and size in healthy volunteers
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.

Variable Flip Angle T1 mapping of the liver at 0.55T
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.

Spiral-QALAS for Fast High-resolution Abdominal Quantitative Mapping
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.

Quantitative Pelvic MRI Reveals Altered Anal Canal and Pelvic Floor Morphology in Anal Fistula: Links to Severity/Recurrence
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.

Accelerated motion-corrected simultaneous 3D water T1 and T2 mapping in the abdomen
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.

Feasibility of Three Echo Sequence for Abdominal Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping: A Preliminary Study
Impact: Three-echo QSM has similar abdominal image
quality to 6-echo, supporting its use to reduce acquisition time, despite
higher fat-related variability.

|
366-05-013.
Quantitative synthetic MRI for preoperative assessment of rectal cancer: an independent validation study
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.

Sub-millisecond ZTE MRI for Dynamic Vocal Fold Surface Measurements: Comparison with Structured Light 3D Endoscopy
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.
