  Figure 464-06-001.  Generative Adversarial Network for Motion Correction in Free-breathing Abdominal T2-Weighted Fast Spin-echo MRI
Yi Li, ZILONG HUANG, HAILIN XIONG, Wing Yat Cheung, Chenglang Yuan, Shihui Chen, Liyuan Liang, Xiaorui Xu, Tianbaige Liu, QITING WU, Mei-Lan Chu, Hsiao‐Wen Chung, Nan-kuei Chen, Qi DOU, Hing-Chiu Chang
The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong
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.
  Figure 464-06-002.  Non-contrast Lymphangiography: Systematic evaluation of an optimized 3DTSE in the visualization of Central Lymphatics at 1.5T
Monica Gunasingh, Aishwarya Baskaran, Shaik Ummul Khair Bushra, Natesan Chidambaranathan, Rolla Narayana Krishna, Jaladhar Neelavalli
Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, India
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.
  Figure 464-06-003.  MRI-guided quantification of abdominal organ motion under non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) for ion-beam therapy
Ariadna Cherit Hernández, Stefan Wampl, Martin Paier, Martin Meyerspeer, Michael Parkes, Christian Ramsl, Florian Watzinger, Arjan Bel, Irma van Dijk, Piero Fossati, Martin Krssak, Dietmar Georg, Markus Stock, Albrecht Schmid
MedAustron, Ion Beam Therapy Center, Wiener Neustadt, Austria
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
  Figure 464-06-004.  Breath-Hold Radial-Sampled DCE MRI: Superiority Beyond Cartesian in a 78-Paired Cohort
Kazuto Kozaka, Taichi Kitagawa, Saya Igarashi, Fumihito Toshima, Yu Ueda, Azusa Kitao, Norihide Yoneda, Satoshi Kobayashi
Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan
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.
  Figure 464-06-006.  Disentangling breathing motion from bowel peristalsis on dynamic CINE MRI scans
Michael Kitzberger, Zahra Ghasemzadeh, Jordina Aviles Verdera, Jana Hutter
Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Erlangen, Germany
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.
  Figure 464-06-007.  Virtual reality patient preparation to reduce respiratory motion and anxiety in Gd-EOB-DTPA liver MRI: a randomized trial
Maximilian Thormann, Jana Witjes, Frank Fischbach
Charité – Universitätsmedizin, Berlin, Germany
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.
  Figure 464-06-008.  Optimizing Free-breathing Liver DW-PROPELLER-EPI via Cross-slice Data-sharing Binning (CSDS-binning) and Volume Registration
QITING WU, ZILONG HUANG, HAILIN XIONG, Chenglang Yuan, Shihui Chen, Liyuan Liang, Lu Wang, Yi-Jui Liu, Chang-Hsien Liu, Chun-Jung Juan, Hsiao‐Wen Chung, Hing-Chiu Chang
The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong
Impact: A more robust free-breathing (FB) liver DW-PROPELLER-EPI can advance routine FB liver diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for challenging populations.
  Figure 464-06-009.  Rapid Liver Diffusion Imaging Using Non-local Block Matching Model
Rongli Zhang, Zhifeng Chen, Xiaoyun Liang, Chen Qian, Yu Wang, Shenjun Zhong, CUNJING ZHENG, Mingfeng Jiang, Zhenguo Yuan, Junying Cheng, Zhongbiao Xu
The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong
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.
  Figure 464-06-010.  3T Breast DWI: SMS rs-EPI Outperforms ZOOMit and ss-EPI in Geometric Fidelity, Susceptibility Robustness, and DCE Concordance
Jie Zhao, Hao Xiong, Qun Yu, Wei Chen, Ziqiao Lei
Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China
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.
  Figure 464-06-011.  Reduced-FOV Prostate DWI Using Frequency-Swept Pulses
Michael Jaroszewicz, Rudy Rizzo, Tejinder Kaur, Nicole Seiberlich, Hero Hussain, Vikas Gulani, Yun Jiang
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, United States of America
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.
  Figure 464-06-012.  Deep learning-based phase correction improves DWI and ADC for bladder imaging
Shu Zhang, Xinzeng Wang, Patricia Lan, Ion Codreanu, Ruiyang Zhao, Arnaud Guidon, Diego Martin, Nakul Gupta
Houston Methodist Research Institute, Houston, United States of America
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.
  Figure 464-06-013.  Comparison of Deep Learning Enhanced ZOOMit DWI and Conventional Single-Shot EPI DWI for Evaluation of Prostate Lesions at 3T
Meihong Zhou, Jiazheng Liu, Ruifen Zhang, Yueluan jiang, Omar Darwish, LINA ZHANG
the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China
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.
