  Figure 569-03-001.  Deep Learning Reconstruction of Isotropic Structural MRI from Routine 2D Clinical Scans
JiaChen Sun, Yayan Yin, Boyan Xu, Jie Lu
Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China
Impact: This method reconstructs isotropic structural images directly from routine 2D acquisitions, preserving anatomical and fidelity while eliminating the need for separate high-resolution 3D scans. It improves workflow efficiency and accessibility for quantitative and functional MRI studies in clinical settings.

Omer Demirel, Dinghui Wang, Spencer Waddle, Vincenzo Scialò, Enas Ahmed, Tzu Cheng Chao, Jouke Smink, Jérôme Yerly, Robert Holtackers, Jacinta Browne, Tim Leiner
Philips North America Clinical Science, Rochester, United States of America
Impact: This study demonstrates that deep learning-based 3D super-resolution enhances free-running 5D cardiac MRI at 0.6T acquired in half the scan time. The approach improves image sharpness and spatial details at low field strength, supporting faster free-running whole-heart imaging.

Keerthi Prabhu M, Punith Bidarakka Venkategowda, Asha KumaraSwamy Kuppe, Kun Zhou, Thomas Benkert, Seung Su Yoon, Marcel Dominik Nickel
Magnetic Resonance, Siemens Healthineers, Bangalore, India
Impact: The results demonstrated that while BLADE-simulated-TSE datasets can act as a useful pretraining strategy, BLADE datasets remain essential to further improve reconstruction performance. This highlights the importance of dataset-specific training, providing a roadmap for extending DL-based SR to non-Cartesian acquisitions.

Ajay Sharma, Ivan Etoku Oiye, Russell Byrum, Michael Holbrook, Yu Cong, Claudia Calcagno, Venkatesh Mani, Sairam Geethanath
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, United States of America
Impact: 

This study aims to improve the use of LF-MRI for Nipah virus induced brain lesion detection. The optimal T2w parameters have been identified, and the super-resolution method improves image quality for possibly monitoring infectious disease (NiV) outbreaks.
  Figure 569-03-005.  Attention-Enhanced Latent Diffusion for MRI Super-Resolution
Peijiang Ma, Zhongsen Li, Juanhua Zhang, Kaihan Yang, Haoding Meng, Rui Li
Tsinghua University, Beijing, China
Impact: By adopting the latent diffusion model, our approach not only facilitates high-quality MRI super-resolution but also substantially reduces training resource requirements, which is beneficial for promoting the wider use of MRI super-resolution techniques.
  Figure 569-03-006.  Validation and Feasibility of Fast Knee MRI Using a Deep Learning-Assisted 3D Iterative Image Enhancement System
xiaoqing Wu, Xi Zhu, Jie Shi, Jing Ye, Wennuo Huang, Wei Xia
Dalian Medical University, Dalian, China
Impact: The results support the feasibility of DL-3DIIE as a practical solution for achieving rapid, high-quality knee MRI without hardware modification.
  Figure 569-03-007.  Fast undersampled dynamic MRI reconstruction using explicit representation learning with Gaussian splatting
Maarten Terpstra, Cornelis van den Berg
University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands
Impact: Quickly obtaining high-quality MRI from accelerated acquisitions is important to mitigate motion artifacts, maintain patient comfort, and improve clinical efficiency. We show that explicit representation learning using Gaussian splatting enables high-quality cardiac MRI, while directly encoding the underlying tissue properties.
  Figure 569-03-008.  Revolutionizing MRI Reformatting: ESRGAN Transfer Learning for Through-Plane Resolution Enhancement
YASHWANT KURMI, Malvika Viswanathan, Zhongliang Zu
Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, United States of America
Impact: The proposed Through-Plane Resolution Enhancement (T-PRE) framework enhances through-plane resolution in multi-slice MRI reformatting by combining slice profile inversion with deep learning-based restoration (MRI-ESRGAN). It achieves superior image quality, improves structural fidelity, shortens acquisition time.

Tim Emmenegger, Steffen Franz, Michael Adam, Anna Duguid, Patrick Will, Simon Schading-Sassenhausen, Bernhard Strasser, Sabina Frese, Wolfgang Marik, Wolfgang Bogner, Simon Robinson
Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria
Impact: Spinal cord injury can cause focal lesions that disrupt ascending and descending pathways. To fully realize the potential of emerging 3D lesion assessments, isotropic high-resolution imaging strategies robust to metal artefacts are essential to improve accuracy, sensitivity, and reproducibility.
  Figure 569-03-010.  CONSIS-Net — Consistency-based Iterative Super-Resolution unrolled Network for low-field knee MRI
Sebástian Ibarra, Steren Chabert, Ronal Coronado, Claudia Prieto
Millennium Institute for Intelligent Healthcare Engineering - iHEALTH, Santiago, Chile
Impact: This work demonstrates that a neural network integrating transformer-based super-resolution module with data-consistency steps can produce high-quality images from lower-resolution (4x times faster) acquisitions. The proposed framework improves image sharpness and structural fidelity without increasing scan duration or patient burden

Karolinska Institutet, Solna, Sweden
Impact: Using a spectrally optimized bias, INR enables accurate, rapid, full-field super-resolution recovery from standard-resolution 4D Flow MRI with settings transferable across patient anatomies.
  Figure 569-03-012.  Non-Cartesian Super-resolution with Homodyne Partial Fourier Reconstruction
Haneefah Brnawi, Michael Mendoza, Neal Bangerter, Peter Lally

Impact: We propose a practical solution for capturing high-resolution information of rapidly decaying signals, using a super-resolution approach and partial Fourier reconstruction. This technique extends k-space achieving a threefold resolution increase in one dimension with just two acquisitions.
