Multi-Modality Quantitative Fat Phantom for MRI and CT Measurements of Myosteatosis
Impact: A
quantitative multi-modality muscle fat phantom was developed for quality
assurance of MRI and CT myosteatosis quantification. Measurements on the phantom closely
represented the observed relationship between MRI PDFF and CT number in
paraspinal muscle tissue.

Quantitative MRI with PDFF and Texture Outperforms Volume Measurements to Assess Aging of the Masseter Muscle
Impact: MRI biomarkers offer a more sensitive measure of muscle aging
than volume alone and may enable earlier identification and monitoring of
muscular decline.

Multimodal MRI Biomarkers of Lesion Severity and Functional Outcome in a Rat Model of Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
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. |

In vivo T1 mapping of soft and hard tissues at 90 mT
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).

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.

Data-Driven Beat-to-Beat Magnetization Recovery Correction in Multi-Shot Free-Breathing 3D Myocardial T2 Mapping at 1.5 T
Impact: Our method improves the accuracy of voxel-wise whole-heart T2 mapping
from a multi-shot free-breathing 3D T2-mapping technique and may be useful to
quantitatively distinguish healthy myocardium from edema even in the presence
of heart rate variability during data acquisition

Fast and Accurate Parametric Map Computation for Radial MRF of Articular Cartilage Using Deep Learning
Impact: Fast and accurate deep
learning-based estimation of tissue quantitative MRI parameters from compressed
radial-MRF signal evolutions may replace the time-consuming traditional dictionary
matching process and provide advantages over existing learning-based methods in
that require full signal evolution inputs.

within a single breath-hold. Optimized reconstruction and spin-lock preparation
mitigate radial T₁ contamination, supporting robust in-vivo T₁ρ quantification
for future clinical assessment of liver microstructure and fibrosis.
