Volumetric Speech MRI at 60 Hz by a 90 Seconds MR -MOTUS Protocol for Assessment of Post-Surgical Velopharyngeal Dynamics
Impact: This 90-second reference-free MRI protocol enables
comprehensive 3D assessment of velopharyngeal function during speech at 60 frames per second. The approach addresses limitations
in current clinical imaging methods, potentially improving surgical outcome
evaluation and treatment planning for cleft palate patients.

Knee Extension Moment Estimated from OpenCap During Chair Rise Relates to Muscle Quantity and Quality in Older Healthy Adults
Impact: Video-based motion-capture using OpenCap is a simple and cost-effective tool for assessing muscle function and quantity/quality in older adults. This makes it a convenient alternative to MRI and dynamometry for monitoring muscle health, and identifying subjects at risk of sarcopenia.

Estimation of tibiofemoral and patellofemoral kinematics directly from dynamic knee MRI
Impact: We
developed a dynamic MR imaging and analysis pipeline to quantify tibiofemoral
and patellofemoral kinematics. This approach eliminates the need for static reference
scans and complex registrations, enabling subject-specific assessment of
coupled knee motion from a single 10-minute scan.

Dynamic Non-ionising Open-MRI of Children with Hip Disorder (DYNOCHIP): feasibility of dynamic upright 3D hip-joint imaging
Impact: Our open MRI-based hip-joint imaging technique can provide surgeons with load-bearing visuals
of hip dynamics, offering better contrast than X-ray-arthrograms, and avoiding hospitalisation,
anaesthesia, contrast, and radiation risk. The dynamic-3D models will further
facilitate personalised, objective surgical planning across trusts.

Robust muscle function analysis from time-resolved 4D strain measurements
Impact: Our
robust time-resolved 4D strain measurements reveal changing biomechanical
behavior of muscle tissue when contracted, using data from only a single
repetition. This could enhance the analysis of in vivo biomechanics.

Real-Time MRI for Quantification of Muscle & Joint Mechanics in Sports Medicine: Towards Load Tracking and Injury Prevention
Impact: High-frame-rate real-time MRI
enables direct, non-invasive quantification of in vivo joint mechanics. We
demonstrate a reliable approach for real-time load tracking and biomechanical
analysis, offering valuable insight for injury prevention, rehabilitation,
performance-optimisation, and supporting sports
medicine interventions in elite athletes.

Evaluation of factors that influence skeletal muscle post-exericse hyperemia in healthy individuals
Impact: vPIVOT MRI allows for simultaneous measurement of macro and
microvascular blood flow dynamics following a vasoactive stimulus. Here, we
sought to evaluate physiologic factors that may influence the post-exercise
vPIVOT response kinetics, such as age, VO2Peak, and arterial
stiffness.

Conventional and in-magnet cardiopulmonary exercise testing of patients with neuromuscular disease
Impact: This study establishes a non-invasive MR approach
translating conventional CPET into an in-magnet exercise-test, enabling
simultaneous assessment of muscle mitochondrial and microvascular function. Its
feasibility in neuromuscular disease highlights its promise as a tool to advance insight into exercise intolerance.

Accuracy and Sensitivity of 3D qDESS in T2-mapping of Skeletal Muscle Before and After Exercise-induced Increases in T2
Impact: The 3D qDESS method is in good agreement with MESE and STEAM muscle-water $T_2$ values in skeletal muscle under pre- and post-exercise conditions, making it a sensitive and viable tool for FSHD clinical trials.

Exploring cuff-induced dynamics of skeletal muscle BOLD MRI in patients with peripheral artery disease and controls
Impact: Can traits found in early parts of the BOLD-curve reveal microvascular dysfunction in PAD patients? In this work we deep dive into the variations of patient T2*-curves, identifying and quantifying curve traits with the potential to phenotype PAD.
