Kyungpook National University, Daegu, Korea, Republic of
Impact: Self-corrected AUSFIDE, a calibration-free technique for mitigating errors from field drifts and k-space trajectory mismatch in AUSFIDE, was evaluated via in vivo brain scans. The new method achieves rapid and robust 3D quantification of the human brain transverse relaxation parameters.

Impact: This study improves quantitative bSSFP mapping accuracy and efficiency with only simulated data, reducing cost. It provides a framework for reliable parameter estimation and data synthesis, enabling integration of advanced modeling methods and facilitating data augmentation for developing MRI techniques.

Ruimin Feng, Albert Jang, Xingxin He, Fang Liu
Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, United States of America
Impact: The proposed method enables accurate and efficient scan-specific multiparametric qMRI reconstruction by integrating implicit neural representation, physics-based modeling, and model adaptation. The framework requires no fully sampled data, improving the practicality of quantitative imaging for both research and clinical applications.
  Figure 360-04-006.  Complex-Valued MR Fingerprinting (CV-MRF) for Simultaneous Estimation of R2*, Field Perturbations, and Transceive Phase
Matthew Cherukara, Kevin McNally, Karin Shmueli, Patrick Fuchs
University College London, London, United Kingdom
Impact: We propose a novel dictionary matching method for field, transceive phase and $R_2^*$ mapping, validated using simulated multi-echo gradient echo data and demonstrated in-vivo. This approach may help improve precision in this pre-processing step fundamental for QSM, EPT, and beyond.

Kazuma Iwazaki, Naoto Fujita, Shigehito YAMADA, Yasuhiko Terada
The University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan
Impact: This work makes high-resolution T1 mapping of human embryos practical (e.g., AF=8). Researchers can now move beyond morphology to quantitatively analyze biophysical tissue development, enabling the creation of new high-resolution quantitative atlases of human embryogenesis.
  Figure 360-04-008.  SSL-MIMOSA: Self-Supervised Learning for Fast Multiparameter Estimation Including T₂* Mapping in Quantitative MRI with MIMOSA

Harvard University, Cambridge, United States of America
Impact: SSL-MIMOSA estimates five quantitative maps, including T₂*, from a single scan. It replaces large dictionary matching with a self-supervised learning framework, enables reconstruction within minutes through transfer learning, and generalizes to 7T, advancing practical, comprehensive qMRI toward routine clinical/research use.

Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel, Brussels, Belgium
Impact: AI reconstruction algorithms focus on image quality, not the reproducibility of quantitative measurements. Strategies for accelerating 3D-QALAS acquisitions were investigated on two vendors. Different optimal acceleration settings should be used to achieve the best quality, depending on the vendor.
