  Figure 565-02-001.  Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Venography at 7 T to Analyze Venous Architecture in Glioma-Affected White Matter
Diwash Thapa, Andrew Wright, Yujia Huang, Jeannie Baxter, Jiaen Liu, Anke Henning
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, United States of America
Impact: By mapping venous architecture in gliomas at submillimeter resolution, QSM-venography enables assessment of vascular proliferation patterns related to tumor grade and IDH status. These findings may improve noninvasive diagnosis, risk stratification, and individualized radiotherapy strategies for patients with brain tumors.
  Figure 565-02-002.  DCE-MRI and ADC Value for Pretreatment Prediction of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Response in Advanced Olfactory neuroblastoma
Shanbin Sun, Xiwen Wang, yongchao wu, Dandan Zheng, Zhaohui Liu
Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China
Impact: These findings indicate that pretreatment DCE-MRI and DWI can reliably predict response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in advanced ONB, thereby avoiding unnecessary toxicity and treatment delay in non-responders.
  Figure 565-02-003.  Knowledge Distillation-Based Brain Tumor Segmentation with Incomplete MRI Modalities
Qianqian Zheng, Liting Guo, Shuang Li, Yuchi Tian, Xiaorui Su, Xiaoyun Liang, Yuqi Jin, Guangliang Ju, Qiang Yue
West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chendu, China
Impact: Our knowledge distillation framework offers a practical solution for brain tumor segmentation in real-world clinical settings where complete MRI protocols are not readily available, supporting more reliable diagnosis and treatment planning.
  Figure 565-02-004.  Response to Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy in Spontaneous Canine Gliomas With FT-VSI ASL Perfusion Assessment
Dara Kraitchman, Dapeng Liu, Hayden Carlton, Lawrence Kleinberg, Molly Church, Cory Brayton, Qin Qin, Robert Ivkov
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, United States of America
Impact: VSASL in combination with conventional MRI protocols can provide a method to distinguish radiation necrosis from progression of disease in gliomas after hypofractionated radiation therapy.
  Figure 565-02-005.  7T SWI Intratumoral Susceptibility Signals Predict Ki-67 Proliferation and TERT Promoter Mutation in Glioma
Fengwei Yu, Ke Li, zilong Li, Suyi Zhou, Yi-Cheng Hsu, Jiafei Chen, Zhiming Zhen, Wei Chen
Army Medical University (Third Military Medical University), Chongqing, China
Impact: 7T SWI–based intratumoral susceptibility signals (ITSS) non-invasively mirror key glioma biomarkers—Ki-67 and TERT—and histologic grade, supporting preoperative glioma stratification and personalized treatment planning.
  Figure 565-02-006.  The Utility of Sodium Inversion Recovery MR Imaging to Identify Astrocytoma, IDH-mutant
Koji Yamashita, Makoto Obara, Kazufumi Kikuchi, Daichi Momosaka, Masaoki Kusunoki, Yasutomo Katsumata, Marc Van Cauteren, Kousei Ishigami
Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan
Impact: The suppressed signal intensity with sodium inversion recovery MRI may serve as a highly specific biomarker for diagnosing astrocytoma, IDH-mutant compared to the T2-FLAIR mismatch sign observed on 1H-MRI. This advancement has the potential to transform the current diagnostic approach.
  Figure 565-02-007.  MRI-Based Habitat Imaging for Differentiating Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma and Atypical High-Grade Glioma
Yu Zhang, Han Bao, Junjie Ye, Jiyuan Yang, Yang Lei, Junyi Li, Jia Xie, Yang Song, Meining Chen, Chengxiu Zhang, Wei Sheng, Zongfang Li
The First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Kunming, China
Impact: CE-T2 FLAIR habitat imaging quantifies tumor heterogeneity and BBB disruption, enabling superior noninvasive differentiation between PCNSL and atypical HGG for clinical decision-making.
  Figure 565-02-008.  ADC-Based MRI Radiomics Correlates of Overall Survival in H3K27M-Mutant Pediatric Diffuse Midline Gliomas
Melisa Özakçakaya, N. Tugay Guven, Gökçe Hale Hatay, Esra Sümer-Arpak, Ayca Ersen Danyeli, Memet Özek, Bahattin Tanrıkulu, Alp Dinçer, Esin Ozturk Isik
Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey
Impact: Radiomics features of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps might provide important correlates of overall survival (OS) in H3K27M-mutant pediatric diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs). Specifically, H3K27M-mutant tumors with higher sphericity and non-uniform ADC patterns had longer OS.
  Figure 565-02-009.  Whole-tumor Histogram Analysis of Quantitative Synthetic MRI for Predicting PD-L1 Status in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Yiheng Zhou, Jiankun Dai, Bowen Zheng, yu qi, Qingqing Wen, Peng Wang, Shudong Hu
Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University, Wuxi, China
Impact: Our study showed whole-tumor histogram analysis of quantitative synthetic MRI can be used as a non-invasive tool for predicting PD-L1 status in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, which may be beneficial for guiding the selection of anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy.
  Figure 565-02-010.  Whole-tumor histogram analysis of synthetic MRI for non-invasively predicting histopathology of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Peng Wang, Yiheng Zhou, Jiankun Dai, Shudong Hu
Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University, Wuxi, China
Impact: This study suggested syMRI could be used as a non-invasive tool to assess histopathology of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The application of whole-tumor histogram analysis of syMRI would be beneficial for aiding early treatment adjustment and prognosis prediction for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.
  Figure 565-02-011.  Can Contrast-Enhanced Synthetic MRI Improve the Efficiency of Predicting Meningioma Consistency?
Ye Li, Mingwei Sun, Junzhe Zhao, Jialu Zhang, Yunjing Xue, Lin Lin
Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China
Impact: SyMRI-based meningioma consistency assessment provides actionable clinical value for optimizing surgical planning and predicting postoperative outcomes, thus supporting its integration into routine preoperative imaging workflows.
  Figure 565-02-012.  Amide proton transfer and apparent diffusion coefficient imaging of peritumoral edema for glioma grading
Tiejun Gan, Jun Zhao, Jing Zhang
Department of Magnetic Resonance, Lanzhou, China
Impact: 
In this study,the mAPT of peritumoral edema in the high-grade group was higher than in the low-grade.It is a significant factor leading to postoperative tumor recurrence.Accurate determination of edema boundary is essential for grading and evaluating therapeutic efficacy.
  Figure 565-02-013.  Diagnostic Efficacy of Contrast-Enhanced Subtraction MRI for Detecting Small Brain Metastases from Lung Cancer
Wei Lin
Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China
Impact: The detection of small brain metastases from lung cancer can be challenging on conventional MRI due to their subtle contrast enhancement, often leading to missed diagnoses. Subtraction MRI addresses this by suppressing background signals, increases the visual conspicuity of metastases.
