Cardiac Remodeling and Myocardial Late Gadolinium Enhancement in Competitive Amateur Cyclists: Insights from Cardiac MRI
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.

MRI and CT Imaging Utilization, Socioeconomic Factors, and Measurement Agreement in Thoracic Aortic Surveillance
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.

Mapping Iron, Fibroblast Activation Protein, and Oxidative Stress in Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury with MRI and PET
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.

B1+ Optimisation in the Heart at 7T
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.

Transmit efficiency and SAR characterisation of 64-channel receive/8-channel transmit array for 7T infant MRI
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.

Feasibility of FB-MultiMap for Extracellular Volume Fraction Quantification: A Comparative Study at 3T
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.

Prognostic value of mitral annular plane systolic excursion for adverse cardiovascular event in patient with acute myocardits
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.

|
367-04-008.
Free-breathing Cardiac T2* mapping with self-gating technique
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.

Should we account for viscosity changes in the estimation of hemodynamic parameters?
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.

Myocardial Changes in Patients with Anxiety Disorders: Insights from Oxygenation-Sensitive CMR and Entropy-Based Analysis
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.

Vascular Wall Lesions and Cerebral Small Vessel Disease in Patients with Symptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerosis at 7T MRI
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.

Hyperband optimized spiral trajectory for low-latency interactive cardiac imaging at 0.55T
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.

MRI in Clinical Practice: Diagnostic Value of MRI Plaque Imaging for Symptomatic Non-Stenotic Carotid Plaques
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.
