13:40 Figure 605-02-001.  Prospective shimming for 3D EPI using FID navigators
Miriam Hewlett, Jin Jin, Tess Wallace, Onur Afacan
Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, United States of America
Impact: Real-time shimming for 3D EPI using FID navigators prospectively corrects respiration-induced $B_0$ field changes, noticeably reducing artifacts in SWI and improving quantitative accuracy in QSM.
13:51 Figure 605-02-002.  Fast Reconstruction of Motion-Corrupted Data with Mobile-GRAPPA: Motion and dB0 Correction Leveraging Efficient GRAPPA
Yimeng Lin, Nan Wang, Daniel Abraham, Daniel Polak, Xiaozhi Cao, Stephen Cauley, Kawin Setsompop
Stanford University, Stanford, United States of America
Impact: Mobile-GRAPPA incorporate detailed motion-and-dB0-tracking into SENSE with minimal time-penalty, making feasible fast, high-quality reconstruction of highly-motion-corrupted data. Such approach should also be directly applicable to advanced-SENSE with ML-based priors, where high-temporal-resolution motion-and-dB0 modeling is currently prohibitive.
14:02 Figure 605-02-003.  Serial Acquisition of radiofrequency pulse MOdes (SAMO) to mitigate B1+ inhomogeneity in diffusion MRI at 7T

University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia
Impact: Our proposed SAMO technique for correcting B1+ inhomogeneity in diffusion MRI at 7T offers a solution for achieving homogeneous whole-brain coverage and improving subsequent quantitative diffusion analyses, without requiring additional hardware or complex modifications to existing pulse sequences.
14:13 Figure 605-02-004.  Generalized data stitching for dynamic field monitoring with NMR probes: improving acquisition efficiency and accuracy

Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China
Impact: Enabling fast, accurate, robust dynamic field monitoring in demanding scenarios yet compatible with commercially available field monitoring hardware, our generalized data stitching is believed to have utility for ultrahigh-resolution MRI at ultrahigh field.
14:24 Figure 605-02-005.  Multi-Echo SSFP: A Method for Synthetic bSSFP MRI Contrast without Banding Artifacts at High Field
Magna Cum Laude
Haotian Hong, Michael Hoff, Wenchao Yang, Yiyun Dong, Zijian Zhou, Peng Hu
ShanghaiTech University, Shanghai, China
Impact: By eliminating banding without repeated scans, MESS‐synthesized SSFP dramatically improves imaging robustness. This can unlock reliable bSSFP‐based diagnostic protocols for brain, musculoskeletal, and functional applications, even at higher magnetic fields where standard bSSFP imaging can be challenging.
14:35 Figure 605-02-006.  Phase-Pole-Free Images and Smooth Coil Sensitivity Maps by Regularized Nonlinear Inversion
Magna Cum Laude
Moritz Blumenthal, Martin Uecker
Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria
Impact: NLINV estimates coil sensitivity maps from small AC-regions and non-Cartesian k-space centers. Phase pole correction further improves its robustness, such that NLINV emerges as an efficient and reliable tool for image reconstruction and coil sensitivity estimation in challenging MRI applications.
14:46 Figure 605-02-007.  Phase-Cycled bSSFP Cardiac T1 Mapping: improving homogeneity of myocardial T1 assessment

National Engineering Research Center of Advanced Magnetic Resonance Technologies for Diagnosis and Therapy (NERC-AMRT), Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China
Impact: The proposed method may improve inter-site and inter-vendor reproducibility of cardiac T1 measurement and diagnostic sensitivity for gray-zone T1 increases.
14:57 Figure 605-02-008.  Myocardial wideband T2 mapping using gradient echo readout and advanced denoising for patients with implantable cardiac devic
Magna Cum Laude

Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL), Lausanne, Switzerland
Impact: Our findings highlight the clinical potential of wideband GRE T2 mapping for accurate myocardial T2 quantification in a growing population of patients with implantable cardiac devices, offering a promising diagnostic tool for tissue characterization in ICD patients.
15:08 Figure 605-02-009.  Deep Learning-based Automatic Ripple artifact Reduction with Optimal Wavelet-domain filtering (DL-ARROW)
Summa Cum Laude
Jeanette Deck, Andreas Walch, Constantin von Deuster, Reto Sutter
University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Impact: Ripple artifacts from SEMAC can be automatically reduced using a DL-supported WD-Filter, without extending scan time or altering imaging protocols. This enables efficient post-processing and supports clinical integration by preserving workflow and improving diagnostic image quality.
15:19 Figure 605-02-010.  Chemical shift separated and compensated ultra-short echo-time (UTE) imaging
Martin Krämer, Lumeng Cui, Jürgen Reichenbach, Stefan Sommer
Jena University Hospital, Jena, Germany
Impact: The developed method robustly corrects for chemical shift-induced blurring in UTE imaging at both 3T and 7T. This significantly enhances image quality while simultaneously allowing for separation of fat and water from the same acquisition.
