  Figure 564-05-001.  Predicting sequence-induced variability in T1-weighted image-derived phenotypes using physics-based synthetic MRI
Hongyan Liu, Nikos Priovoulos, Somtochukwu Ibeme, Karla Miller, Aaron Hess
University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom
Impact: This abstract proposes a physics-based framework for synthesising T₁-weighted image-derived phenotypes (IDPs) to enable controlled assessment and prediction of sequence-induced bias. Physics-informed IDP variability will help harmonise MRI biomarkers, and enhance reproducibility across scanners, institutions, and population-level neuroimaging studies.
  Figure 564-05-002.  Impact of MRI resolution, field strength, and quantitative parameters on lesion-characterization in sclerotic hippocampus
Francisco Fritz, Noémie Sura, Nina Luethi, Rafael Neto Henriques, Cristina Chavarrías, Ora Ohana, Luke Edwards, Kerrin Pine, Noam Shemesh, Evgeniya Kirilina, Nikolaus Weiskopf, Thomas Sauvigny, Siawoosh Mohammadi
Universitätsklinikum Hamburg Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany
Impact: Our findings indicate that spatial resolution has the greatest impact on lesion detection, helping university hospitals decide between purchasing ultra-high-field MR systems or improving resolution through better sequences, MR hardware, or alternative techniques.
  Figure 564-05-003.  Deep learning-based relaxometry from conventional brain MRI: applications to a large-scale, clinically heterogeneous dataset
Jelmer van Lune, Stefano Mandija, Oscar van der Heide, Matteo Maspero, Martin Schilder, Cornelis van den Berg, Alessandro Sbrizzi
UMC Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands
Impact: Deep learning-based retrospective T1-/T2-/proton-density-mapping on a large-scale clinical dataset facilitates quantitative analyses of conventional MRI. Potentially valuable insights from this method could promote clinical adoption of quantitative MRI for applications such as lesion differentiation, treatment response monitoring and longitudinal analysis.
  Figure 564-05-004.  Associations between Cytokines and Multiparametric MRI biomarkers of Metabolic Disease Risk in Pre-pubertal Mexican Boys
Elizabeth Shumbayawonda, Megh Utsav, Benito de Celis Alonso, Briseida López-Martínez, Armando Vilchis-Ordoñez, Silvia Hidalgo-Tobon, Jimmy Bell, Po-Wah So
Perspectum, Oxford, United Kingdom
Impact: Multiparametric MRI markers correlated with serum cytokines linked to MASLD progression. cT1 was associated with MCP-1, IL-4 and FGF-2, key drivers of inflammation and fibrosis, supporting the role of cT1 in patient risk stratification and non-invasive monitoring of treatment response.
  Figure 564-05-005.  RGB4FLAIR: Eliminating Partial Volume Artifacts in Synthetic FLAIR Using Deep Learning Trained on Natural Images
Alireza Samadifardheris, Dirk H. J. Poot, Shishuai Wang, Stefan Klein, Juan Hernandez-Tamames, Florian Wiesinger
Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, Netherlands
Impact: RGB4FLAIR enables PVE artifact–free synthetic FLAIR without costly paired clinical training data, using RGB channels of natural images as not anatomy biased qMRI map surrogates to improve the quality of qMRI-synthesized images to accelerate clinical translation and qMRI adoption.
  Figure 564-05-006.  Reliability of Structural, Quantitative and Functional MRI Measures Following 3T Scanner Relocation
Stefano Tambalo, Alberto Finora, Paula Maldonado Moscoso, Lara Maria Viola, Manuela Moretto, Tom Hilbert, Gian Franco Piredda, Tobias Kober, Jorge Jovicich
University of Trento, Rovereto, Italy
Impact: MRI-derived neuroimaging metrics remain highly reproducible after scanner relocation, with structural, diffusion, and functional measures showing minimal variation (<5%) and excellent reliability (ICC up to 0.99), supporting the robustness of longitudinal and multisite MRI research.
  Figure 564-05-007.  Quantitative T2 mapping for assessment of MASLD using a radial turbo spin echo sequence (RadTSE) with fat suppression
Shu Zhang, Sajeev Sridhar, Zeyad Abouelfetouh, Brian Toner, Kevin Johnson, James Nguyen, Phillip Martin, Fei Han, Pedro Itriago Leon, Ali Bilgin, Maria Altbach, Nakul Gupta, Diego Martin
Houston Methodist Research Institute, Houston, United States of America
Impact: T2 mapping may be a useful tool for chronic liver disease assessment, with histogram analysis demonstrating an increased skewness of T2 value distribution in fatty liver and an inverse correlation between the T2 10th percentile and liver fat fraction.
  Figure 564-05-008.  Towards 7 Tesla whole-brain 3D Dynamic Glucose-Enhanced Imaging with semi-quantitative R1ρ mapping
Oscar Forsman, Daniel Papp, Carolin Lange, Patrick Liebig, Henrik Sjöström, Caroline Ingre, Tobias Granberg
Karolinska Institutet, Solna, Sweden
Impact: We have successfully demonstrated the feasibility of 3D whole-brain DGE-MGI at 7T using semi-quantitative R1p mapping with high spatial (1 mm2 in-plane) and temporal (40s) resolution.
  Figure 564-05-009.  Quantitative evaluation of portal vein hemodynamic changes in patients with cirrhosis using 4D Flow MRI
Ying Liu, Xiaonan Wang, Zhiwei Shen, Hongyan Ni
Tianjin First Central Hospital, Tianjin, China
Impact: Comprehensive assessment of portal venous system hemodynamics provides assistance for accurate treatment and prognosis indicators of patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) and hepatic cellular cancer (HCC).
  Figure 564-05-010.  Subclinical Cardiac Impairment Patterns in Obese Individuals and Weight-Loss Associated Remodeling Effects Using Cardiac MRI
Di Ma, Qingtong Zheng, Sanjeev Shahi, Wenchao Song, Yunyu Gao, Yongzhou Xu, Kai Liu, Yanjia Deng
Xuzhou Medical University, Xuzhou, China
Impact: This study reveals that obesity causes reversible subclinical LV dysfunction detectable by CMR-FT, highlighting the potential of weight loss interventions to restore myocardial function and prevent obesity-related cardiac remodeling.
  Figure 564-05-011.  Measurement of the blood transverse relaxation rate constant assisted by flow velocity spectrum MRI
Ilaria Perretti, Jung-Jiin Hsu, William Stern, Eduardo Caverzasi, Anna Pichiecchio, Roland Henry
University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy
Impact: The new R2 measurement technique, facilitated by velocity spectrum MRI, reduces the partial volume and flow effects, and provides new opportunities to investigate smaller vessels, regions beyond the brain, and arterial blood for a more thorough assessment of oxygen metabolism.
  Figure 564-05-012.  Single-Breath-Hold Spin-Echo EPTSI for Rapid and Accurate Fat Fraction Quantification
Yi Li, Muyi Guo, Yichao Guo, xianwang jiang, Xiaoyun Liang
Neusoft Medical Systems Co. Ltd, Shanghai, China
Impact: This study introduces a single-breath-hold SE_EPTSI technique that provides accurate FF quantification comparable to the HISTO sequence, while enabling faster acquisition, wider coverage, and higher spatial resolution, offering a viable approach for liver fat quantification.
  Figure 564-05-013.  Generation of Synthetic Brain Tumour MR Spectra using Convex NMF and Statistical Modelling
Matthew McCarthy, Lili Tóth, Alfredo Vellido, Margarida Julià-Sapé
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Cerdanyola del Vallès, Spain
Impact: Synthetic brain tumour MRS generated with cNMF and statistical modelling can supplement limited MRS datasets, supporting more robust machine-learning-based tumour classification and promoting broader clinical integration of spectroscopy in neuro-oncology.
  Figure 564-05-014.  Half-Dose Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI at 5.0T in Ischemic Stroke: A Quantitative Comparison with 3.0T
Lixin Du, Pan Wang, Jing Yang, Hai Lin
Shenzhen Longhua District Central Hospital, Shenzhen, China
Impact: This work demonstrated that 5T DCE-MRI with a half-dose protocol was feasible, offering superior SNR and potentially enhanced sensitivity to microvascular hemodynamics, paving the way for safer, high-fidelity perfusion imaging in neurologic disorders.
