Impact: 

Quantitative MRI biomarkers, including lesion volume, T₂, and diffusion metrics, provide sensitive, noninvasive measures of spinal cord injury (SCI) severity and progression. These tools can improve preclinical therapy testing, guide clinical trials, and inform strategies to predict functional recovery.

Impact: This work presents high-resolution MR Fingerprinting for free-breathing evaluation of respiratory muscles, addressing a key challenge in neuromuscular disorders where respiratory weakness drives morbidity. It paves the way for quantitative biomarkers enabling earlier detection, monitoring, and treatment evaluation.

Impact: This work extends the possibilities for quantitative MRI of Halbach-based devices to include hard-tissue $T_1$ mapping, which was thus far never reported in vivo at low field strengths (< 0.1 T).
  Figure 467-01-007.  Distortion-corrected thoracic diffusion-weighted MRI to enable treatment response monitoring in malignant mesothelioma

Impact: This work establishes a robust acquisition and processing pipeline for correcting EPI distortion in thoracic DWI. This approach enables quantitative analysis for mesothelioma treatment monitoring and has potential to replace inadequate size-based CT criteria with a more sensitive MRI-derived biomarker.
  Figure 467-01-008.  Patient-specific multi-phase liver DCE-MRI with automated contrast enhancement tracking via AM-FM demodulation
Victor Murray, Richard Do, Ricardo Otazo
