Speed versus Quality in Low-Field MRI: Quantitative Analysis and Radiological Evaluation of Standard and Accelerated Images
Impact: Partial Fourier accelerates low-field MRI while preserving
anatomical visibility, as confirmed by radiologists, while undersampling
reduced visibility, despite similar SNR/CNR. T1w, T2w, and IR-T1w scans provide

Iterative Spatial-smoothness Constrained Field-inhomogeneity Correction for Deep Learning-based Fat-Water Quantification
Impact: Physics-informed Deep Learning-based Zero-Shot-models have shown

investigates spatial-smoothness constraints on field-inhomogeneity as a potential
idea to cope with swaps.
