  Figure 367-04-001.  Cardiac Remodeling and Myocardial Late Gadolinium Enhancement in Competitive Amateur Cyclists: Insights from Cardiac MRI
Felix Albrecht, Tilo Thottakara, Jonas Schaerk, Goetz H Welsch, Julia Münch, Axel Pressler, Scott Reeder, Monica Patten, Gunnar Lund, Jitka Starekova
University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany
Impact: Right-ventricular insertion-point (RVIP) LGE in cyclists is common and appears benign, whereas non-RVIP LGE is associated with adverse remodeling and elevated biomarkers, suggesting this subgroup may warrant closer clinical follow-up.
  Figure 367-04-002.  MRI and CT Imaging Utilization, Socioeconomic Factors, and Measurement Agreement in Thoracic Aortic Surveillance
Edison Sun, Ethan Johnson, Michael Markl, Bradley Allen
Northwestern University, Chicago, United States of America
Impact: This study illustrates socioeconomic and clinical factors influencing CT and MRI use for aortic surveillance and demonstrates comparable growth-rate measurements across modalities, supporting interchangeable follow-up strategies and motivating broader MRI accessibility to promote equitable, radiation-free imaging.
  Figure 367-04-003.  Mapping Iron, Fibroblast Activation Protein, and Oxidative Stress in Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury with MRI and PET
Marina Awad, Sophia Swago, Chiara Camillo, Diana Albino, Elizabeth Thompson, Giovanni Ferrari, Estibaliz Castillero, Cory Tschabrunn, Walter Witschey, Paco Bravo
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, United States of America
Impact: This study demonstrates the feasibility of combining QSM MRI, and PET imaging of FAP and ROS activity. It reveals that iron deposition, FAP activation and oxidative stress are detectable within a week of IRI, providing a framework of post-ischemic remodeling.
  Figure 367-04-004.  B1+ Optimisation in the Heart at 7T
Erin McConnell Montoya, Aaron Hess, Damian Tyler, Ladislav Valkovič
Oxford Centre for Clinical MR Research (OCMR), University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom
Impact: By identifying a single RF shim usable across multiple subjects, we eliminate the need for per-case $B_1^+$ mapping, while providing an improved $B_1^+$ efficiency and homogeneity within the heart at 7T.
  Figure 367-04-005.  Transmit efficiency and SAR characterisation of 64-channel receive/8-channel transmit array for 7T infant MRI
Gregorio Spinola, Jeremie Clement, Jo Hajnal, Shaihan Malik, Tomoki Arichi, Ozlem Ipek
King's College London, London, United Kingdom
Impact: This work demonstrates that integrating a 64-channel receive array with an 8-channel transmit coil enables comprehensive infant 7T imaging with minimal impact on transmit performance or safety, supporting the development of high-resolution, multi-region neonatal MRI within a single optimized setup.
  Figure 367-04-006.  Feasibility of FB-MultiMap for Extracellular Volume Fraction Quantification: A Comparative Study at 3T
Yujie Chen, Zhenfeng Lyu, Sha Hua, Yejun Wu, Shudong Zheng, Jiayang Tao, Yiwen Gong, Zeping Qiu, Yixian Zhou, Yiwen Shen, Peng Hu, Haikun Qi
ShanghaiTech University, Shanghai, China
Impact: The free-breathing multiparametric mapping technique with Cartesian acquisition and dictionary matching achieved comparable precision of extracellular volume fraction estimation with standard techniques, providing further evidence for its clinical translation.
  Figure 367-04-007.  Prognostic value of mitral annular plane systolic excursion for adverse cardiovascular event in patient with acute myocardits
Ruichen Ren, Xiuzheng Yue, Yang Zhang
Beijing YouAn Hospital, Beijing, China
Impact: This study establishes CMR-derived MAPSE as a simple, reproducible prognostic marker in acute myocarditis, potentially enhancing risk stratification without requiring complex post-processing.
  Figure 367-04-008.  Free-breathing Cardiac T2* mapping with self-gating technique
Zhiyi Chen, Wenchao Yang, Wenjian Liu, tianyi wu, Peng Hu
School of Biomedical Engineering, ShanghaiTech University, Shanghai, China
Impact: This cardiac free-breathing T2* mapping technique eliminates quantification variability caused by breath-holding, enabling motion-robust and consistent myocardial quantification with free-breathing. It establishes a foundation for T2* quantification comparison in exercise stress testing, during which breath-holding is impossible.
  Figure 367-04-009.  Should we account for viscosity changes in the estimation of hemodynamic parameters?
Angelo Bustos, Julio Sotelo, Tetsuro Sekine, Takahiro Ando, Kotomi Iwata, Masatoki Nakaza, Hernán Mella
Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile
Impact: Viscosity-independent parameters (e.g., TKE and vorticity) capture Hct-related flow alterations at peak systole, supporting Hct reporting and consideration of viscosity effects in interpretation.
  Figure 367-04-010.  Myocardial Changes in Patients with Anxiety Disorders: Insights from Oxygenation-Sensitive CMR and Entropy-Based Analysis
Shutong Liu, shiqi Jin, Ting Liu, Yunzhu Wu
The First Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China
Impact: OS-CMR scanning can explain the mechanisms underlying cardiovascular symptoms in anxiety patients. The new specific breathing pattern can be used as an effective alternative to injected or inhaled vasodilators to assess coronary vascular reactivity, avoiding the side effects of drugs.
  Figure 367-04-011.  Vascular Wall Lesions and Cerebral Small Vessel Disease in Patients with Symptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerosis at 7T MRI
Wanbing Wang, Xin Lou
The First Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China
Impact: This study found that higher vessel wall burden on the stenotic side was associated with increased CMI and total SVD load. Significant correlations were observed between wall burden and CMI, WMH, PVS, and Lacune.
  Figure 367-04-012.  Hyperband optimized spiral trajectory for low-latency interactive cardiac imaging at 0.55T
Rebecca Baker, Vivek Muthurangu, Jennifer Steeden
University College London, London, United Kingdom
Impact: High spatial resolution and low-latency interactive imaging at 0.55T, achieved with jointly optimized spiral trajectory and deep artifact suppression machine learning network, will enable MR-guided catheterization to be performed more easily, thus resulting in shorter procedure times.
  Figure 367-04-013.  MRI in Clinical Practice: Diagnostic Value of MRI Plaque Imaging for Symptomatic Non-Stenotic Carotid Plaques
Konstanze Guggenberger, Marius Vogt
University Hospital Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany
Impact: This case demonstrates how MRI Plaque Imaging improves diagnostic accuracy and guides treatment decisions in symptomatic, non-stenotic carotid plaques. By assessing plaque features like intraplaque hemorrhage and lipid-rich necrotic core, MRI Plaque Imaging influences stroke risk and management.
