Evaluation of Asiatic Acid Efficacy and Development of a Multiparametric MRI-Based Grading Model for Renal Fibrosis in Rats
Impact: Multi-parametric MRI evaluates the efficacy, enabling accurate longitudinal monitoring of treatment response. It facilitates the development of a machine learning model for precise fibrosis staging, addressing the need for repeated invasive biopsies and providing a basis for improved patient management.

Noninvasive Detection of Early Stage Renal Fibrosis Associated with Microcysts in Polycystic Kidney Disease by Precision MRI
Impact: This
transformative contrast will be the first time enable a non-invasive rapid
monitoring of pro-fibrotic disease activity and response to therapeutics
for ADPKD, expediting and reducing the cost of drug
development and allowing effective monitoring of drugs during clinical
practice.

Choice of IVIM-DWI fitting substantially impacts parameter estimation in multi-center renal studies
Impact: Renal IVIM-DWI parameter estimates depend strongly on fitting algorithm, with different best-performing algorithms across sites, despite protocol standardization. Reliable algorithm selection and site-specific performance assessment are essential for reproducible multi-center studies and quantitative renal imaging clinical translation.

Pathology-Validated Radiomics Models Based on Diffusion Tensor Imaging for Assessing Renal Allograft Fibrosis
Impact: This study enables non-invasive, accurate
fibrosis assessment in renal transplants using DTI-radiomics, potentially
reducing biopsy needs. It validates medullary FA as a key biomarker,
facilitating early intervention and improved patient monitoring.

Assessment of Renal and Hepatic Relaxation Times of Deuterium (²H) Labeled Resonances at 7T
Impact: Knowledge of organ-specific ²H relaxation
constants increases the accuracy of concentration
estimation and can therefore improve the understanding of underlying metabolic
processes in renal and hepatic physiology and pathology, which potentially
pushes abdominal DMI closer towards clinical application.

Deuterium MRI for the Evaluation of Treatment Response in Solid Tumors: Pseudo-progression vs Progression
Impact: Pseudo-progression negatively impacts cancer patients. It can lead to premature discontinuation of effective and potentially curative therapies. Pseudo-progression also delays drug development. Our clinically relevant approach allows differentiation of tumor pseudo-progression from worsening disease addressing a key gap in oncology.
