Comparison between respiratory-triggered and free-breathing signal acquisition methods for 31P-MRS of the liver
Impact: Liver 31P-MRS using free-breathing (FB) and respiratory-triggering (RT) techniques showed equivalent stability and robustness in 21 healthy participants. FB acquisition was significantly shorter (12:56min vs 15:44min) with comparable signal-to-noise ratios and metabolite measurements, making FB a practical alternative to RT.

Structural Covariance Network Analysis Based on Individual Similarity in Bariatric Surgery Patients
Impact: This study elucidates longitudinal
alterations in brain structural covariance networks following bariatric surgery
in obese patients, revealing enhanced clustering and local efficiency. These
insights may advance understanding of neural plasticity in obesity treatment,
guiding future neuroimaging-based interventions.

Assessment of Muscle-Specific Taurine and Intramyocellular Lipids in Chronic Hyperglycaemia: 3T 1H MRS study.
Impact: This work demonstrates that in vivo proton
magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H MRS) enables non-invasive assessment of
taurine and intramyocellular lipids (IMCLs) in skeletal muscle, providing
insight into metabolic alterations linked to chronic hyperglycemia and
supporting development of early MR-based biomarkers.
