Skill Level: Intermediate

		468-04-001. Optimizing Epicardial Pacemaker Configuration to Reduce MRI-Induced RF Heating in Pediatric Patients Kaitlyn Mowry, Fuchang Jiang, Pia Sanpitak, Safa Hameed, Gregory Webster, Laleh Golestanirad, Bhumi Bhusal Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, United States of America Impact: This study demonstrates that epicardial pacemaker position and orientation significantly affect localized tissue heating during MRI. Implementing specific placement strategies during surgical implantation can reduce RF heating risk and enable safer MRI access for pediatric patients with implanted devices.
		468-04-002. Early Functional and Structural alterations in patients with DMD: Insights from Multi-parametric Cardiac MRI wenting Luo, Jianxing Qiu, jianxiu lian, Jia Liu Peking University First Hospital, Beijing, China Impact: This investigation indicated that strain, T1 mapping, and MyoMass serve as imaging markers for early myocardial involvement in DMD, which may provide a novel diagnostic basis for precise stratification and early intervention.
		468-04-003. Mammillary body volumes, cognitive functioning, and clinical risk in adolescents with complex congenital heart disease Ruth O'Gorman Tuura, Antonio Gennari, Melanie Ehrler, Oliver Kretschmar, Beatrice Latal University Children's Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland Impact: Mammillary body (MB) volumes are reduced in adolescents with complex congenital heart disease, and are associated with worse cognitive functioning and a higher clinical risk. MB volumes may provide an additional imaging marker for cognitive impairment in this population.
		468-04-004. Evaluating Contrast Effects on bSSFP Cine Imaging in Congenital CMR Lauren Thai, Osahon Obanor, Steven Philip, Lasya Gaur, Tarek Alsaied, Qing Zou, Tarique Hussain University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, United States of America Impact: Contrast agent selection may affect image quality and volumetric reliability in CMR. Consideration for alternative imaging strategies when Ferumoxytol is used may be necessary, particularly in workflows where contrast precedes bSSFP acquisition.
		468-04-005. The diagnostic value of multi-parameter non-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance in pediatric myocarditis Baohan Zhao, Xin lei Zhang, Honglei Shang, Xin Zhao, Zhanqi Feng, Wenjia Wang, Yuxin Li, Qiuge Gao The Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China Impact: Non-contrast cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) parameters provide an effective diagnostic approach for pediatric myocarditis, offering a valuable alternative for patients who are unsuitable for biopsy or have contraindications to contrast agents.
		468-04-006. Doppler Ultrasound-based Motion Detection for Fetal Cardiac MRI Reagan Tompkins, Luc de Ruiter, Gal Sela, Sally-Ann Clur, Annelies van der Hulst, Joost van Schuppen, Pim van Ooij, Eric Schrauben Amsterdam University Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands Impact: The use of a Doppler ultrasound signal as a motion surrogate offers a practical, trajectory-independent framework for more precise motion detection, with potential to enhance retrospective motion correction and scan efficiency, and to inform future motion-aware fetal cardiac MRI protocols.
		468-04-007. Rapid, Contrast-Free 3D-Cine Reconstruction from Real-Time 2D Cardiovascular MRI: Clinical Validation in Pediatric Congenital Mark Wrobel, Jennifer Steeden, Elena Milano, Michael Quail, Aya El Jerbi, Jonathan Awori, Nita Chaudhuri, Jai Udassi, Rob van der Geest, Mehdi Hedjazi Moghari, Vivek Muthurangu University College London, London, United Kingdom Impact: This study demonstrates a contrast-free 3D-cine MRI technique for children with congenital heart disease, enabling cardiac function assessment in ~1-2 minutes. It removes breath-holding and contrast risks, and significantly enhances workflow, patient comfort, and safety.
		468-04-008. Tau constant of active ventricular relaxation correlates with ejection fraction in patients with single-ventricle physiology Shruti Patil, Tarique Hussain, Ryan Butts, Lauren Thai, Maria Gusseva University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, United States of America Impact: Defining the relationship between tau and ventricular function is critical for establishing its prognostic value. Model-derived tau showed lower variability and stronger correlation with EF and ventricular EDP than data-derived tau, indicating its potential as a robust biomarker.
		468-04-009. Myocardial Strain and T1 Mapping in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Stratification by LVEF wenting Luo, Jianxing Qiu, jianxiu lian, Jia Liu Peking University First Hospital, Beijing, China Impact: Multi-parametric MRI identifies subtle myocardial dysfunction and fibrosis in DMD patients with preserved LVEF, providing sensitive markers for early detection and refined disease staging beyond conventional clinical assessment.
		468-04-010. Dynamic tracheal motion and deformation with lung volume changes during respiration in paediatric subjects with zero-TE MRI Fraser Callaghan, Daniel Kronenberg, Michael Zellner, Christian Kellenberger University Children's Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland Impact: This radiation free technique for lung and airway imaging presents an opportunity to explore new measurements and dynamics. We present the first, normal measurements of carina motion and left-right lung synchrony, opening the door for new biomarker investigation.
		468-04-011. Applying Deep Learning Reconstructed T1-Weighted Stack-of-Stars and Respiratory-Resolved 4DZTE to Pediatric Lung Imaging Eugene Milshteyn, José de Arcos, Carolin Pirkl, Xinzeng Wang, Seonghwan Yee, Navaira Shoaib, Patrick Lenehan, Devyn Rigsby, Kendall Clark, Sebastian Gallo, Teresa Victoria, Michael Gee, Samantha Harrington, Pallavi Sagar GE HealthCare, San Ramon, United States of America Impact: Application of DL enhanced stack-of-stars and 4DZTE can provide excellent lung visualization and complementary information, providing an avenue for MRI of the lungs as a viable alternative to CT for the pediatric cohort.
		468-04-012. Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI in Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant with and without Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome Brandon Zanette, Faiyza Alam, Felix Ratjen, Tal Schecter, Joerg Krueger, Giles Santyr The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada Impact: Xe-MRI VDP and VHI were increased in pediatric post-HSCT participants with BOS compared to those without, and correlated with same-day spirometry and MBW. Xe-MRI holds promise for longitudinal surveillance in post-HSCT children as a non-ionizing measure of regional lung function.
		468-04-013. 3D PREFUL MRI Reveals Regional Ventilation Heterogeneity in Pediatric Patients with Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis Milan Speth, Martha Dohna, Filip Klimeš, Andreas Voskrebenzev, Gesine Hansen, Frank Wacker, Diane Renz, Martin Wetzke, Jens Vogel-Claussen Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany Impact: 3D PREFUL MRI ventilation maps demonstrate impaired regional ventilation with heterogeneous distribution and ventilation defects among children with NCFB. 3D PREFUL MRI is a promising, non-invasive and compliant tool to monitor regional ventilation changes in children with NCFB.
		468-04-014. High-Resolution Isotropic 3D Lung MRI at 0.55T in Naturally Sleeping Infants with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Xin Miao, Nam Lee, Eamon Doyle, Roberta Kato, Krishna Nayak, Narayan Iyer Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Los Angeles, United States of America Impact: High-resolution 3D lung parenchyma assessment in premature infants is achieved with 0.55T MRI without radiation, sedation, or contrast administration. This safe, repeatable, sensitive evaluation of lung structure can transform neonatal care previously limited by feasibility and safety constraints.
