16:00 Figure 503-03-001.  All-in-One DeepGrasp: A Unified Self-Supervised Model for Accelerated 4D Radial MRI Across Organs, Resolutions, and Dynamics
Summa Cum Laude AMPC Selected
Haoyang Pei, Jingjia Chen, Yao Wang, Hersh Chandarana, Li Feng
Bernard and Irene Schwartz Center for Biomedical Imaging, Department of Radiology, New York University Grossman School of Medicine, New York, New York, United States of America
Impact: The proposed All-in-One DeepGrasp allows for efficient and high-quality, highly-accelerated 4D MRI reconstruction across organs, resolutions, and temporal dynamics, offering significant potential for different clinical applications, including both DCE and non-DCE applications.
16:11 Figure 503-03-002.  Free-breathing Radial subspace-guided mOtion correction and compressed SENsing (FROSEN) for contrast-enhanced liver imaging

United Imaging Healthcare North America, Houston, United States of America
Impact: By combining the strengths of prior techniques, FROSEN bridges the image quality gap between free-breathing and breath-hold methods, representing a step toward broader clinical acceptance of free-breathing imaging in abdominal exams.
16:22 Figure 503-03-003.  AdaSamp: Towards simple, subject-specific Adaptive Sampling for 3D Accelerated MRI
Summa Cum Laude
Jaehyeok Bae, Zachary Shah, Cagan Alkan, Shreyas Vasanawala, John Pauly, Kawin Setsompop
Stanford University, Stanford, United States of America
Impact: Our method, AdaSamp, generates simple, subject-specific sampling-mask guided by a fast scout image and tailors k-space coverage to each patient’s spatial-support and anisotropy. It outperforms population-based sampling-masks in reconstruction quality and streamlines practical deployment of subject-adaptive 3D-MRI across diverse anatomies.
16:33 Figure 503-03-004.  Generative diffusion bridge reconstruction for accelerated motion-compensated free-breathing abdominal MRI
Magna Cum Laude
Melanie Schellenberg, Richard Do, Ricardo Otazo
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, United States of America
Impact: Diffusion bridge generative AI reconstruction represents a powerful tool for fast motion-compensated abdominal MRI reconstruction, enabling 9-fold acceleration and similar image quality with respect to state-of-the-art motion-resolved imaging.
16:44 Figure 503-03-005.  PSIRNet: Deep Learning–Based Free-Breathing Rapid-Acquisition Late Enhancement Imaging
Magna Cum Laude
Arda Atalik, Hui Xue, Daniel Sodickson, Michael Hansen, Peter Kellman
Microsoft Research, Redmond, United States of America
Impact: PSIRNet reconstructs a phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) image from a single interleaved IR/PD acquisition thereby significantly shortening the acquisition which is typically 8 to 24 averages. The rapid free-breathing acquisition enables full heart coverage with thinner slices.
16:55 Figure 503-03-006.  Towards real-time self-gating for fetal cardiac MRI via deep learning-based motion estimation in k-space
Magna Cum Laude
Aya Ghoul, Christopher Roy, Sarah Nordmeyer, Sergios Gatidis, Thomas Küstner
Medical Image and Data Analysis (MIDAS.lab), Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Tübingen, Germany
Impact: Our deep learning self-gating method enables clinically feasible fetal cardiac MRI without specialized hardware and extensive computation. This may facilitate assessing the fetal cardiac function and development, with potential extensions toward real-time imaging to improve prenatal diagnostics and postnatal care.
17:06 Figure 503-03-007.  Real4DFlow: Real-time whole-heart 4D flow reconstruction framework from a 5-minute scan using multi-dynamic deep image prior
Syed Murtaza Arshad, Salman Pervaiz, Lee Potter, Preethi Subramanian, YINGMIN LIU, Christopher Crabtree, Matthew Tong, Rizwan Ahmad
The Ohio State University, Columbus, United States of America
Impact: The proposed self-supervised framework enables real-time whole-heart 4D flow imaging, facilitating beat-to-beat variation analysis with significantly improved sharpness, at an unprecedented acceleration. This allows for improved diagnosis of cardiac function, atrioventricular valve disorders, and broader cardiovascular conditions, such as arrhythmias.
17:17 Figure 503-03-008.  Free-Breathing Double-Beat Exercise CMR with Generative AI for Evaluation of Function, Volumes, and Deformation

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, Boston, United States of America
Impact: This study introduces a double-beat, AI-enhanced Ex-CMR sequence to simultaneously capture cardiac volumes and deformation during exercise. By eliminating the need for separate cine and tagging, this approach improves efficiency and enables comprehensive assessment of cardiac performance under physiological stress.
17:28 Figure 503-03-009.  Simulation of MRI K-Space Motion Corruption for Deep Learning-Based Artifact Detection and Correction
Kathryn Lamar-Bruno, Samira Masoudi, Brendan Crabb, Amin Mahmoodi, Alta Steward, Albert Hsiao
University of California, San Diego, United States of America
Impact: We developed a k-space motion state sampling scheme that yields realistic cardiac and cardiorespiratory artifacts, enabling a multi-task convolutional neural network (CNN) to quantify severity and correct it. This reduces repeat scans thus improving workflow efficiency and enhancing diagnostic reliability.
17:39 Figure 503-03-010.  Virtual Shimming: A Deep-Learning-Enhanced Dual-Phase bSSFP Imaging Framework for B0-Robust Cardiac Cine MRI

Impact: This virtual shimming strategy could allow clinicians to perform subject-agnostic B0-robust bSSFP imaging, even in patients with CIEDs at 3T. It simplifies workflow and potentially improves clinical accessibility of high-quality cardiac MRI.
