  Figure 367-01-001.  Heterogeneity of white adipose tissue browning induced by ADRB3 stimulation characterized with in vivo MRI
Qiaoling Zhong, Zimeng Cai, Xiuwei Jiao, Yichen Ge, Yuanbo Yang, Yongzhou Xu, Reisin Cai, Zoheb Ahasan, Kejia Cai
Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, Guangzhou Medical University, China
Impact: By visualizing fat browning heterogeneity via Dixon-MRI, this research uncovers pronounced differences in visceral vs. subcutaneous adipose tissue remodeling, paving the way for novel mechanistic insights and targeted anti-obesity therapies.
  Figure 367-01-002.  Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Cortical Morphology in Obesity: A Surface-Based Morphometry Study
Junhong Duan, Xiang Gao, Shahan Guo, Jun Peng, Peng Wu
The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha, China
Impact: Bariatric surgery induces measurable cortical structural adaptations associated with fat distribution and metabolic improvement, highlighting SBM as a potential biomarker framework for monitoring brain plasticity and cognitive recovery in obesity.
  Figure 367-01-003.  Whole Abdomen Deuterium Metabolic Imaging at 3T Using Multi Channel Receive Arrays
Yang Fan, Rolf Schulte, Jialu Zhang, Jinxia Guo, Chunsheng Wang, Feng Chen, Bing Wu
GE Healthcare, Beijing, China
Impact: Multi‑channel coils enable whole‑abdomen DMI at 3T, providing improved SNR and spatial coverage. This advances metabolic imaging toward clinical translation, with potential applications in oncology, diabetes, and hepatology.
  Figure 367-01-004.  Lipid and Acetyl Carnitine Differences measured before and after GLP-1 induced weight loss at 7T with 1H-MRS
Ryan Armbruster, neil wilson, Aylin Ergin, Anne Cappola, Anastassia Amaro, Ravinder Reddy
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, United States of America
Impact: ¹H-MRS provides insights into metabolic response of skeletal muscle during GLP-1–mediated weight loss.
  Figure 367-01-005.  Comparison between respiratory-triggered and free-breathing signal acquisition methods for 31P-MRS of the liver
Kumi Ozaki, Jihun Kwon, Marc Van Cauteren, Yasutomo Katsumata, Yukichi Tanahashi, Satoshi Goshima
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.
  Figure 367-01-006.  Unraveling metabolic alterations associated with lung cancer: A proton NMR based metabolomics study
Uma Sharma, Deepti Upadhyay, Saumya Jaiswal, Chandrashekhara H, Sunil Kumar, Prabhat Malik
All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India
Impact: Present study provides detailed insights into metabolic pathways disrupted in lung cancer. Integrating these metabolomics findings with the enzymatic assays and transcriptomics may facilitate the identification of non-invasive biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets for lung cancer management.
  Figure 367-01-007.  The Role of Low Glycaemic Index Diets in Metabolic Disease Prevention: Insight From a Randomized Cross-over Study in MASLD
Stephen Bawden, Amina Al-Awadi, Jane Grove, Moira Taylor, Penny Gowland, Guruprasad Aithal
Swansea Bay University Health Board, Swansea, United Kingdom
Impact: We found a 2-week low glycaemic index diet improved insulin sensitivity and inflammation markers in MASLD independent of energy intake. This can guide clinicians toward tailored interventions and provide pilot data for research into related mechanisms of liver–gut metabolic regulation.
  Figure 367-01-008.  Metabolic Dyshomeostasis Estimated from Blood Plasma within 1-hour of Birth: Definitive of Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy
Ashish Panigrahi, Neha Yadav, Vivek Tiwari
Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Berhampur, Odisha, India
Impact: This study elucidates early neurometabolic alterations in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy using integrated metabolomics. Understanding these molecular derangements in a clinical setup may refine therapeutic windows, guide neuroprotective interventions, and inform precision strategies for neonatal neurocritical care.
  Figure 367-01-009.  Biological Characterization of FDG-PET–Based Dose Painting Using Multiparametric MRI
Lars Svensen, Marta Switlyk, Eirik Malinen, Taran Hellebust, Einar Dale, Tord Hompland
Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway
Impact: Our findings support FDG-PET–based dose painting as a biologically justified approach, linking metabolic and MR-derived tumor heterogeneity. This may guide more personalized radiotherapy and inspire future studies integrating mpMRI to refine targeting of radioresistant tumor subregions.
  Figure 367-01-010.  Structural Covariance Network Analysis Based on Individual Similarity in Bariatric Surgery Patients
Junhong Duan, Shahan Guo, Xiang Gao, Jun Peng, Peng Wu
The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha, China
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.
  Figure 367-01-011.  Assessment of Muscle-Specific Taurine and Intramyocellular Lipids in Chronic Hyperglycaemia: 3T 1H MRS study.

Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria
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.
  Figure 367-01-012.  An accurately controlled compact pneumatic transducer for MR Elastography at 3 T and 7 T
