		361-05-001. Physics-guided self-supervised learning for quantitative maps and synthetic imaging in multiple sclerosis detection Bin Zhang, Xingyang Wu, Lixian Zou, Dong Liang, Yihang Zhou, Haifeng Wang Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen, China Impact: By generating quantitative T1/T2/PD maps and synthetic DIR contrasts directly from routine T1w/T2w/FLAIR scans, this physics-guided self-supervised framework greatly enhances MS lesion visibility and diagnostic accuracy, enabling faster, more informative imaging without additional scan time or specialized sequences.
		361-05-002. Artifact-free bSSFP with 3 phase-cycled acquisitions Yiyun Dong, QING-SAN XIANG, Haoran Zhao, Michael Hoff University of Washington, Seattle, United States of America Impact: This work enables robust, banding-free bSSFP imaging with three phase-cycled acquisitions, providing good image quality and additional B0 mapping with improved time efficiency through mathematical simplification and spatial regularization, inspiring clinical practicality.
		361-05-003. STAGE-simulated FGATIR for Deep Brain Stimulation Planning: Equal Contrast with Less Scan Time Paul Rowley, Kiarash Ghassaban, Sean Sethi, Ying Wang, Samuel Barnes, Paul Kokeny, Karen Tong Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, United States of America Impact: STAGE-simulated FGATIR enables rapid, vendor-agnostic DBS target delineation with improved edge sharpness. By generating multiple contrasts from one acquisition, STAGE reduces total protocol time without sacrificing spatial resolution of target structures, potentially enhancing surgical precision and patient outcomes.
		361-05-004. Acceleration of MP2RAGE Acquisitions Through Multi-Contrast Joint Reconstruction Curtis Goosney, Christopher Rowley McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada Impact: The application of joint reconstruction algorithms to MP2RAGE facilitates reconstruction of high-quality images at R ≥ 5, exceeding the reconstruction quality of a typical GRAPPA reconstruction, and allowing for further acceleration of quantitative mapping.
		361-05-005. Feasibility of MR Elastography in Head & Neck Cancer Anne-Sophie van Schelt, Sanjena Mithra, Karen Welsh, Tony Ng, Alan Wright, Matthew Cherukara, Karin Shmueli, Steve Connor, Martin Forster, Ralph Sinkus King's College London, London, United Kingdom Impact: MR elastography (MRE) was evaluated in healthy volunteers and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients. Tumours showed altered mechanical properties compared to normal tissue, with further changes post-chemoradiation. Preliminary results show the potential of assessing HNSCC using MRE.
		361-05-006. Feasibility of performing brain MR elastography in the prone position to explore mechanisms of brain injury Matthew Kroen, Mary Kramer, John Detre, Curtis Johnson University of Delaware, Newark, United States of America Impact: This work demonstrates that it is possible to collect prone MRE data of the human brain. This data reveals localized changes in MRE measures when compared to traditional brain MRE and provides insight helpful for understanding head injuries.
		361-05-007. Repeatibility and reproducibility of brain MRE among 3T and 5T Huiquan Yang, Xiandan Shang, Jun Chen, Zhengyang Zhu, Bo yu Jiang, Fei Xiang, Hongyan Zhu, Zengping Lin, Yang Yang, Ming Li, Xin Zhang, Bing Zhang Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China Impact: This study validates the repeatability and reproducibility of brain MRE across 3T and 5T scanners, underscoring its robustness for reliable cross-site studies in MRE.
		361-05-008. Synthetic MRI Combined With Clinical Characteristics for Prediction of Ki-67 Status in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Yulin Wang, Huanhuan Ren, Daihong Liu, Lisha Nie, Jiuquan Zhang Chongqing, chongqing, China Impact: This study enables non-invasive Ki-67 status assessment, potentially improving pretreatment stratification in NPC.
		361-05-009. Dynamic mastication using Upright MRI: Visualisation of internal oral features and its potential association with BMI. Muhammad Suhaib Shahid, Arthur Harrison, Olivier Mougin, Thomas Barber, Gleb Yakubov, Galina Pavlovskaya University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom Impact: Dynamic visualisation of mastication in the natural posture allows one to explore potential associations to critical health anthropometric parameters, for example BMI, potentially opening previously unknown pathways to explore obesity.
		361-05-010. QSM vs dopamine transporter PET: χ⁺ Mapping Outperforms Conventional QSM in Tracking Substantia nigra Degeneration in PD Chao Zhang, Mert Sisman, Qihao Zhang, Alexandra Roberts, Carly Skudin, Yi Wang Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell University, New York, United States of America Impact: Source-separated χ⁺ mapping provides a more sensitive and biologically specific biomarker than conventional Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) for tracking substantia nigra (SN) degeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD).
		361-05-011. Optimizing relaxation-exchange magnetic resonance imaging for parameter mapping in white matter Cyrus Najarian, Navid Seraji-Bozorgzad, Scott Swanson, Nicole Seiberlich, Jon-Fredrik Nielsen, Jeffrey Fessler University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, United States of America Impact: Our optimized REXI sequence significantly improves quantitative estimation of relaxation and exchange parameters while accounting for B₀/B₁ inhomogeneity. This framework enhances scan efficiency and precision, laying the groundwork for clinical translation of REXI in evaluating myelin integrity and white-matter pathology.
		361-05-012. Beyond Bulk Susceptibility: A Review of Intravoxel Source Separation Methods in QSM Sadegh Ghaderi, Sana Mohammadi Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University, Montreal, Canada Impact: This comprehensive review guides researchers in selecting QSM source separation techniques to overcome intravoxel cancellation. This enables specific iron and myelin quantification, advancing the understanding of biomarkers in neurodegeneration, including MS, PD, and AD.
		361-05-013. Comparing non-Cartesian k-space trajectories for sodium (23Na) imaging in the healthy brain Louise Rosenqvist, Samuel Rot, Ben Prestwich, Susan Francis, Hampus Olsson, Matthew Clemence, Bhavana Solanky, Michael Asghar, Sofia Nordberg, Isabella Björkman-Burtscher, Claudia Gandini Wheeler-Kingshott, Maria Ljungberg University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden Impact: Understanding how trajectory design affects ²³Na MRI performance will aid in optimizing acquisition protocols, improving data reliability, and advancing the clinical feasibility of quantitative ²³Na MRI.
