Simultaneous T2* and susceptibility mapping in healthy and compromised pregnancies
Impact: T2* and QSM maps of the placenta, acquired simultaneously in
a single short dual-echo multi-slice EPI scan and analysed jointly, might
provide a simple clinical marker of pregnancy compromise.

Automated biometric assessment of cephalopelvic disproportion at term using 3D-reconstructed T2-weighted fetal MRI
Impact: Preliminary results indicate that automated cephalopelvic measurements from 3D-reconstructed T2-weighted MRI have strong potential to estimate birth risks, enabling identification of women at increased likelihood of obstructed labour and supporting personalised birth planning to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.

MR Cytometry for Ovarian Tumors: Differentiation of Benign and Malignant Lesions and Correlation with Pathology
Impact: MR cytometry enables noninvasive microstructural characterization of ovarian tumors, enhancing diagnostic accuracy for distinguishing benign, malignant, and metastatic lesions while providing valuable insights into pathological aggressiveness and molecular features, potentially guiding personalized treatment strategies.

MR-guided HDR Brachytherapy in Cervical Cancer patients: Accurate and fast catheter positioning with real-time dosimetry
Impact: We improved MR-Tracked-High-Dose-Rate
brachytherapy catheter insertion in cervical-cancer patients with faster tracking and incorporating intraprocedural on-line radiation-dosimetry that displays tumor-regions
receiving insufficient dose or neighboring tissues receiving excessive dose, facilitating
dose optimization in shorter catheter-insertion procedures.

Cervical Cancer Restriction Spectrum Imaging (RSI) Model applied on Clinical Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) Data
Impact: Applying RSI modeling to clinical DWI (bmax=1000s/mm2) could enable advanced diffusion analysis without specialized multi-shell (bmax=3000s/mm2) acquisitions, supporting research and clinical translation, as it avoids the need for additional protocols.

CervFiT-AG3DNet: Cervical Cancer Segmentation from Time-series Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI using Deep Learning
Impact: Our deep learning
approach effectively segments cervical cancer from a challenging 4D DCE-MRI
dataset, achieving improved tumor segmentation accuracy. This work serves as a
pioneering step toward advancing future research in automated cervical cancer
analysis using time-dependent dynamic
imaging data.

Impact of tract-specific and gestational age-dependent fiber modelling on spherical deconvolution in fetal diffusion MRI
Impact: Conventional spherical deconvolution methods
—using a constant fiber model—are suboptimal in fetuses, where white matter is
heterogeneous and rapidly maturing. Calibrating on mature pathways like the
corpus callosum results in sharper FODs that better resolve fiber
crossings.

Diffusion MRI based Myometrium Tractography Quantitative Analysis for Detection of Placenta Accreta Spectrum disorders
Impact: dMRI based myometrium tractography is a useful non-invasive tool and could provide complementary information to the existing anatomical features to improve the diagnosis of PAS disorders.

Measuring the spatial variation of blood flow across the placenta using phase contrast angiography
Impact: This work investigated the blood flow across the placenta, describing the transit of blood across the organ. These quantitative data provide insights into placental function which are of use for mathematical modelling and understanding placental function.

Characterizing Placental Perfusion in Healthy Pregnancy and Fetal Growth Restriction with 3T IVIM and Velocity-Selective ASL
Impact: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a common pregnancy complication often caused by placental insufficiency. This study will characterize placental function using 3T DWI IVIM and Velocity-Selective ASL in healthy and FGR pregnancies, comparing to Doppler ultrasound and postnatal placental histopathology.

Placental blood-flow velocity quantification from diffusion MRI in Normal and Complicated Pregnancy
Impact: This method non-invasively assesses placental blood flow using existing diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) data, potentially enabling early identification of pregnancies at risk of complications (e.g., fetal growth restriction and pre-eclampsia), and extending to microvascular flow studies in other organs.

Early-Pregnancy Multi-Parametric Placental Imaging as a Possible Predictor of Infant Growth Faltering
Impact: Early-pregnancy placental Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) may classify infants at risk for poor growth in the first four months through placental shape and radiomic analysis, therefore enabling future studies centering early interventions evaluation in larger populations and at-risk infant monitoring.

Advanced intra-abdominal ectopic pregnancy at 32 weeks : Diagnostic value of MRI in a resource-limited setting.
Impact: Early radiological recognition of intra-abdominal ectopic pregnancy improves diagnostic accuracy, prevents life-threatening complications, and guides timely surgical or interventional management. These findings enhance clinician awareness, refine imaging protocols, and open avenues for studying predictive radiological markers to improve maternal outcomes.
