New ideas and applications in cutting edge MSK research, including imaging around metal, super-resolution, AI, and new markers.

		566-05-001. Optimizing Lumbar Spinal MRI with Implants: A Comparison of DL-TSE-WARP, TSE-WARP, and CS SEMAC Xiaoqian Tian, Wanqing Gong, Wei Chen, Zhenmeng Sun, Tingting Zhang Yichang Central People’s Hospital, Yichang, China Impact: DL-TSE-WARP is the recommended sequence, offering fast, high-quality imaging with effective artifact reduction, thereby enhancing diagnostic confidence and workflow in clinical practice.
		566-05-002. Deep Learning Accelerated Slice Encoding for Metal Artifact Correction (SEMAC) for Hip Arthroplasty MRI Jeanette Deck, Thomas Yu, Andreas Walch, Dominik Paul, Mathias Nittka, Marcel Dominik Nickel, Reto Sutter, Constantin von Deuster University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland Impact: This retrospective study demonstrates that deep learning reconstruction enables diagnostically robust image quality of 22-fold undersampled (R=22) SEMAC data, comparable to conventional compressed sensing reconstruction with a lower undersampling factor (R=11).
		566-05-003. Imaging Near Spinal Fixation Hardware at 0.55T compared with 3T Bahadir Alp Barlas, Kübra Keskin, Bochao Li, Jay Acharya, Jordan Gross, Sophia Cui, Zorica Buser, Jeffrey Wang, Brian Hargreaves, Krishna Nayak University of Southern California, Los Angeles, United States of America Impact: In lumbar spine, 0.55T offers significantly improved diagnostic confidence and metal artifact suppression compared to 3T.
		566-05-004. Applying Metal Artifacts Suppression MRI to Differentiate Periprosthetic Joint Infection from Aseptic Complications zhangyan xu, tongxin zhu, dan liu, wei zeng, Yongliang Pu, Yang Haitao The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China Impact: Metal artifact reduction and suppression MRI holds clinical value in discerning periprosthetic joint infection, which supply additional potential for periprosthetic joint infection definition and treatment protocol making.
		566-05-005. MR-compatible, open-source dynamometer to measure isometric knee extensor strength Sabine Räuber, Alberto Guzzi, Francesco Santini, Marta Maggioni University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland Impact: The developed open-source MR-compatible dynamometer enables quantitative assessment of knee extensor strength at a fixed 65° joint angle, inside and outside the MR environment. Comprehensive validation confirmed negligible impact on SNR, B₀, and B₁ fields while maintaining full functional integrity.
		566-05-006. The value of T2WI and contrast-enhanced MRA for locating the fistula level of spinal arteriovenous fistula Feng Ouyang, Jiankun Dai The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Nanchang，Jiangxi, China Impact: Our study showed both T2-weighted imaging and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography are valuable in the detection of SAVF fistula, suggesting MRI may be used as non-invasive and radiation-free imaging tool to locate the fistula level of SAVF.
		566-05-007. Doubling the repetition time without paying the price: 3D Turbo Spin Echo with individually parameterized echo trains Guido Buonincontri, Dominik Paul, Wei Liu, Christoph Forman, Thomas Kluge Research & Clinical Translation, Magnetic Resonance, Siemens Healthineers AG, Erlangen, Germany Impact: Our approach can help accelerate the scan and/or improve the contrast in PD-weighted 3D TSE protocols and potentially be extended to other contrasts. The resulting sequence could be used to increase the efficiency of clinical protocols.
		566-05-008. AI Enabled 0.5T Knee PDw-FS MRI from Single Shifted Echo-Time PDw FSE-MRI Harsh Agarwal, Gyan Ujjwal, Hongxu Yang, Gopal Avinash, Uday Patil, Ramesh Venkatesan GE HealthCare, Bengaluru, India Impact: Proposed AI methods enable fat-suppressed MRI at low/mid-field strengths despite small water-fat peak separation. Both produced Dixon-like image quality with accurate pathology detection and no false-positives, but showed significantly (p<0.01) different quantitative performance across 56 patients at 0.5T
		566-05-009. Bilateral knee imaging with a 42-channel design Jed Smith, Andrew Grainger, Martin Graves, Jana Vincent, Victor Taracila, Gavin Houston, fraser robb, Joshua Kaggie Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge, United Kingdom Impact: Simultaneous bilateral-knee MRI imaging that extends the field-of-view with coil acceleration techniques, while maintaining scan times, has the potential benefit of providing information between both joints. We demonstrate bilateral knee imaging with 42-channels with minimal differences from single-knee imaging.
		566-05-010. SyMRI Habitat Radiomics Predicts Pathologic Complete Response after Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy in Soft Tissue Sarcoma Xin Wen, Jiuming Jiang, Sicong Wang, Meng Li, Ningning Lu National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China Impact: SyMRI-based habitat radiomics provides a non-invasive, early biomarker for pathologic complete response in soft-tissue sarcoma and substantially outperforms RECIST 1.1, supporting threshold-based adaptation of neoadjuvant strategies.
		566-05-011. Deep Learning Superresolution for Knee Imaging at 0.05 Tesla Ye Ding, Zihao Jin, Vick Lau, Shi Su, Xiang Li, Jiahao Hu, Junhao Zhang, Xuehong Lin, Liubin Wu, Chaoyi Xing, Bowen Qiu, Yujiao Zhao, Alex T. L. Leong, Ed X Wu The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China Impact: We demonstrated that deep learning superresolution approach effectively bypasses the SNR limitations of 0.05 T knee imaging. The method robustly reconstructs knee structures with high intra-subject reproducibility and cross-protocol consistency, establishing a foundation for practical and high-quality point-of-care ULF MRI.

Optimized B1+ Insensitive Spectral Pulses Enhance Fat Saturation and Reduce Scan Time in 1.5T Hip Imaging Nicolas Gross-Weege, Simon Balzer, Wei Liu, David Grodzki Research & Clinical Translation, Magnetic Resonance, Siemens Healthineers AG, Erlangen, Germany Impact: A flexible optimization framework for B1+ insensitive spectral pulses is introduced, allowing to tailor fat saturation pulses to 1.5T hip imaging, enhancing the fat saturation homogeneity and reducing scan times by up to 25% compared to conventional adiabatic pulses.
		566-05-013. Design and Evaluation of an Eight-Shaped Near-Field Coupling Array for Ultra-High-Field MRI Joint Imaging Wei Cao, Zhuoyang Lin, Peiyu He, Wenhao Liao, Feng Du, Nan Li, Zhiguang Mo, Qiaoyan Chen, Xiaoliang Zhang, Ye Li Paul C. Lauterbur Research Center for Biomedical Imaging, Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen, China Impact: This study demonstrates a new wireless 8-shaped Near-Field Coupling Array(NFCA) design enabling improved decoupling and imaging uniformity. The approach has the potential to guide future development of flexible coil techniques for clinical MRI applications and inspire scalable wireless array architectures.
