Generative Adversarial Network for Motion Correction in Free-breathing Abdominal T2-Weighted Fast Spin-echo MRI
Impact: This deep
learning-based technique enables more efficient and reliable correction of
motion artifacts, enhancing the clinical feasibility of free-breathing abdominal
T2-FSE MRI for challenging patient populations.

Non-contrast Lymphangiography: Systematic evaluation of an optimized 3DTSE in the visualization of Central Lymphatics at 1.5T
Impact: The optimized non-contrast MR lymphangiography
(MRL) protocol enhances visualization of central lymphatics, significantly
reduces imaging artifacts, and eliminates patient preparation requirements. Thus,
it could help reduce the burden on the patient, streamline diagnostic workflow
and facilitate broader adoption of MRL.

MRI-guided quantification of abdominal organ motion under non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) for ion-beam therapy
Impact: This MRI-based pilot study evaluates non-invasive mechanical ventilation for respiratory motion compression in ion-beam therapy, demonstrating reduced organ displacement and the potential for smaller margins, improved dose conformity, minimized healthy-tissue exposure, and decreased interplay effects in thoracoabdominal indications

Breath-Hold Radial-Sampled DCE MRI: Superiority Beyond Cartesian in a 78-Paired Cohort
Impact: By providing reliable arterial-phase images even
under imperfect motion, breath-hold radial DCE MRI reduces diagnostic
uncertainty and reading time, enabling more confident and consistent abdominal
MRI interpretation across both gadoxetic acid and extracellular contrast
protocols.

Disentangling breathing motion from bowel peristalsis on dynamic CINE MRI scans
Impact: Separating the dynamic MR with the help of recorded breathing information and a low-rank sparse approach into static signal, respiration tracking related signal and residual movement improves quantification of peristaltic motion - a relevant biomarker for chronic bowel diseases.

Virtual reality patient preparation to reduce respiratory motion and anxiety in Gd-EOB-DTPA liver MRI: a randomized trial
Impact: Brief virtual-reality patient preparation was feasible and improved patient satisfaction during Gd-EOB-DTPA liver MRI. While motion and anxiety were unchanged in this largely MRI-experienced cohort, results support targeted use—especially for first-time or anxious patients—and integration with biofeedback or in-bore coaching.

Optimizing Free-breathing Liver DW-PROPELLER-EPI via Cross-slice Data-sharing Binning (CSDS-binning) and Volume Registration
Impact: A more robust free-breathing (FB) liver DW-PROPELLER-EPI can
advance routine FB liver diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for challenging populations.

Rapid Liver Diffusion Imaging Using Non-local Block Matching Model
Impact: This study enables 4-fold accelerated liver diffusion MRI with preserved image quality via a non-local block-matching model reconstruction algorithm, offering a reliable solution for rapid clinical DWI examinations of the liver.

3T Breast DWI: SMS rs-EPI Outperforms ZOOMit and ss-EPI in Geometric Fidelity, Susceptibility Robustness, and DCE Concordance
Impact: SMS readout-segmented DWI showed faithful lesion geometry and the closest agreement with DCE-defined lesion area, particularly in superficial and posterior chest-wall lesions, while maintaining high diagnostic quality. These findings support sequence strategies that improve confidence in breast DWI interpretation.

Reduced-FOV Prostate DWI Using Frequency-Swept Pulses
Impact: This work advances prostate DWI by introducing a reduced-FOV method that minimizes geometric distortion in challenging cases, such as patients with rectal gas or metal implants, enabling more reliable DWI and may support broader clinical use under difficult field conditions.

Deep learning-based phase correction improves DWI and ADC for bladder imaging
Impact: We
developed a deep learning-based phase correction method for removing wormhole
artifacts in DWI, which is a significant limitation of current DWI acquired
during physiological motion, and demonstrated a clinical application for
markedly improved bladder DWI and ADC.

Comparison of Deep Learning Enhanced ZOOMit DWI and Conventional Single-Shot EPI DWI for Evaluation of Prostate Lesions at 3T
Impact: The Deep
learning–enhanced ZOOMit DWI markedly improved
prostate DWI image quality, enhancing signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio and lesion delineation while
minimizing distortion and maintaining efficient scan times.
