  Figure 661-04-001.  Cross-modal Brain Connectivity Prediction with Topology-aware Signed Graph Diffusion Model
Xinrui Chen, Yin Huang, Geng Chen
Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'An, China
Impact: Our topology-aware signed graph diffusion model enhances the prediction of structural connectivity from functional connectivity, enhancing more reliable clinical evaluations in neurological diagnostics and addressing a key need in areas where such technologies are crucial.
  Figure 661-04-002.  Cross-compartment phenotyping and machine-learning classification of pelvic foor dysfunction using MR defecography
Aakaar Kapoor, Tushar Kapoor, Aakriti Kapoor, Dharmesh Singh, Dileep Kumar
City Imaging & Clinical Labs, Delhi, India
Impact: The proposed framework provides a standardized way to quantify pelvic floor dysfunction and identify clinically meaningful phenotypes, improving triage between physiotherapy and surgical intervention. It may reduce misclassification, support treatment planning, and guide future multicenter outcome validation.
  Figure 661-04-003.  Prediction of estimated risk for subsequent motor disorders in infants with external hydrocephalus using machine learning and
huifang zhao, Yuxin Sun, Du Feng, Yuxin Zhang, Ya Zhang, Chao Jin
Impact: This study provides a practical tool for early risk assessment in infants with EH, aiding clinical decision-making. The integrated multi-omics findings offer new insights into the potential neurobiological mechanisms associated with motor delay in this population.
  Figure 661-04-004.  Dynamic modeling of MRI-based tumor habitats during radiotherapy in a murine glioma model
Ayesha Das, David Hormuth, II, Jack Virostko, Patrik Parker, Thomas Yankeelov
The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, United States of America
Impact: This study used four biology-based mathematical models to track temporal dynamics of tumor habitats in a murine glioma model, revealing habitat-specific radiotherapy responses and providing a predictive framework to guide personalized, more effective treatment strategies
  Figure 661-04-005.  Artificial intelligence-enhanced MRI interpretation of tumor invasion: A novel tumor–MRF invasion score for rectal cancer
Huifen Ye, Ke Zhao, Tong Tong
Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, Shanghai, China
Impact: TMIS overcomes the limitations of conventional MRI-based evaluation, providing a more streamlined and integrated approach for prognostic risk stratification in rectal cancer patients.
  Figure 661-04-006.  3D-CNN-Based In Situ pSAR Prediction of Implanted Pedicle Screw Systems under 1.5 T MRI Across Multiple Human Models
Jiarui Lu, Amy Claeson, Zhongrui Wang, Jianfeng Zheng
University of Houston, Houston, United States of America
Impact: Current implant RF-safety assessment lack patient specificity or clinical scalability. This deep-learning surrogate enables rapid in-situ pSAR prediction from anatomical and B₁⁺ field inputs, supporting anatomically diverse cases and providing clinicians with a practical tool for individualized MRI safety assessment.
  Figure 661-04-007.  MRI-based multimodal model to predict lymph node metastasis after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in rectal cancer
Yunjun Yang, Zhifeng Xu, Hai Zhao
The First People's Hospital of Foshan (Foshan Hospital Affiliated to Southern University of Science and Technology), School of Medicine, Southern University of Science and Technology, China
Impact: This study presents an interpretable MRI-based multimodal model that accurately predicts lymph node metastasis after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, providing a noninvasive tool to guide individualized surgical strategies and improve clinical decision-making for locally advanced rectal cancer.
  Figure 661-04-008.  Fast and robust dictionary generation for multiparametric cardiac mapping with variable timing using a transformer network
Pauline Calarnou, Amaury George, Costa Georgantas, Angela Rocca, Gabriel Paffi, Augustin Ogier, Roger Hullin, Jonas Richiardi, Ruud van Heeswijk
Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL), Lausanne, Switzerland
Impact: Transformer networks enable rapid, precise, and robust generation of cardiac T1-T2 mapping dictionaries with variable acquisition timing, replacing 30-minute simulations with 10-second inference and allowing on-scanner dictionary generation for multiparametric mapping in clinical workflows.
  Figure 661-04-009.  AI assistance enhances radiologists' accuracy in rectal MRI T-stage : A retrospective multi-reader, multi-case study
Huifen Ye, Ke Zhao, Tong Tong
Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, Shanghai, China
Impact: The provision of AI-generated visual results led to improved radiologist accuracy of T-stage assessment, particularly enabling less experienced radiologists to increase their diagnostic consistency and effectively narrow the gap with their more experienced radiologists.
  Figure 661-04-010.  Detecting Metabolic Heterogeneity within Leukodystrophy Patients using Unsupervised CEST Z-Spectral Analysis
Abeer Mathur, Anshuman Swain, Paul Jacobs, neil wilson, Narayan Datt Soni, Dushyant Kumar, Jennifer Orthman-Murphy, Matthew Schindler, Mohammad Haris, Ravinder Reddy
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, United States of America
Impact: Enables rapid, reproducible, voxel-wise metabolic screening to highlight white matter pathology and guide segmentation and disease progression analysis without ground truth labels.
  Figure 661-04-011.  Placental patch and whole-Uterus dual-branch U-Mamba-based Architecture for Chorioamnionitis detection from functional MRI
Diego Fajardo-Rojas, Levente Baljer, Jordina Aviles Verdera, Megan Hall, Daniel Cromb, MARY RUTHERFORD, Lisa Story, Emma Robinson, Jana Hutter
Kings College London, London, United Kingdom
Impact: This is a proof-of-concept for the use of functional MRI combined with state-of-the-art deep learning for in-vivo detection of chorioamnionitis. Early identification could enable timely intervention and contribute to reducing adverse neonatal outcomes such as cerebral palsy and necrotising enterocolitis.
