Bern University Hospital and University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland
Impact: We demonstrate the first implementation of NOGSE diffusion encoding on a clinical 3T MRI system, establishing hardware feasibility and validating performance in phantoms. This approach extends sensitivity toward micrometer-scale diffusion regimes, opening new opportunities for in-vivo microstructure characterization.

Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, United States of America
Impact: SKEPTIQ overcomes central k-space undersampling in existing time-resolved DWI by sampling the k-space center at every echo, enabling robust, high-SNR diffusion-relaxometry with dense TE coverage, supporting advanced diffusion-relaxometry analysis.
  Figure 561-03-004.  Accelerated MTE-NODDI Acquisition By Single-Shot Multi-echo EPI for Clinically Feasible TE-Independent Microstructure Imaging
Liam Timms, Miriam Hewlett, Cemre Ariyurek, Sila Kurugol, Onur Afacan
Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, United States of America
Impact: Through accelerated acquisition, this work enables clinically feasible (<10 min), distortion-corrected diffusion-relaxometry. It addresses the critical issue of echo time-dependent bias in microstructural parameters, thereby enhancing the robustness and clinical translatability of advanced multi-compartment models, such as NODDI.
  Figure 561-03-005.  Rapid 3D Diffusion-Weighted Imaging with Spin-Echo Radial-EPI: Validation in Phantom and Carotid Arteries
Seong-Eun Kim, Henrik Odéen, Michael Malmberg, Dennis Parker
University of Utah, Salt Lake City, United States of America
Impact: The 3D Spin-Echo Radial-EPI sequence enables rapid, motion-robust 3D diffusion imaging, producing accurate ADC maps with minimal distortion. This approach expands DWI applications to vascular and motion-prone regions, enhancing clinical and research studies in challenging anatomical areas.
  Figure 561-03-006.  Blood signal suppression in motion compensated spin echo cardiac diffusion tensor imaging
Andrew Scott, Yaqing Luo, Pedro Ferreira, Alberto Di Biase, Karl Kunze, Dudley Pennell, Sonia Nielles-Vallespin
Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom
Impact: Our novel blood suppressed technique enables SNR efficient assessment of in-vivo cardiac microstructure without the confounding effects of blood signal. In particular, it enables assessment of endocardial microstructure which has specific relevance in conditions such as myocardial infarction.
  Figure 561-03-007.  Highly Accelerated Magnetic Resonance Elastography of the Brain using Simultaneous Multi-slice EPI Readout
Manjunathan Nanjappa, Arunark Kolipaka
The Ohio State University, Columbus, United States of America
Impact: SMS-EPI MRE enables large spatial coverage with a reduced scan duration. a significant improvement in scenarios where breath-holds are a hindrance for large spatial coverages, studies involving children, and neuropathological patients who cannot stay still for longer scan durations.
  Figure 561-03-008.  Evaluating temporal resolution of dynamic ZTE using an MR-compatible vocal fold phantom
Paula Jordan, Johannes Fischer, Fiona Stritt, Bogac Tur, Marion Semmler, Stefan Kniesburges, Louisa Traser, Bernhard Richter, Michael Bock
University Medical Center Freiburg, Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany
Impact: Optimizing the ZTE encoding time enhances the diagnostic accuracy in dynamic VF MRI which improves the assessment of VF structure and motion for example in voice disorder studies.
