Exploring the application and impact of open-source denoising strategies to quantitative sodium (23Na) MRI in the human brain
Impact: Open-source, user-friendly
denoising algorithms can increase SNR of sodium MRI, with limited impact on accuracy
of total sodium concentration and
image resolution. This represents an accessible, scalable and practical solution for
improving the clinical appeal of a very SNR-limited
technique.

Application of CS-SPACE Sequence in Non-Contrast-Enhanced Portal Venous MR Venography
Impact: Provides
fast, safe non-contrast portal venography for HCC patients, especially those
with renal impairment.

Patient-Specific Optimization of Real-Time MRI for Lesion Conspicuity in MR-Guided Liver Biopsy
Impact: Patient-specific
MR Fingerprinting maps let us simulate and set real-time imaging
parameters that make liver lesions stand out during MR-guided biopsy.
In our pilot, a simple flip-angle change improved predicted contrast,
offering an immediately actionable path beyond one-size-fits-all site
protocols.

Quantitative Defect Mapping for Free-Breathing 19F Spiral UTE
Impact: Free-breathing spiral UTE 19F ventilation MRI with multidimensional denoising enables quantitative, free-breathing lung imaging. It preserves temporal dynamics, shows strong agreement with reference defect maps, and expands accessibility for patients with breath-holding limitations and for pediatric care.

Food Intake Effect on Liver Perfusion Measurements.
Impact: This study demonstrates that non-contrast Time-SLIP
ASL with 3D iSoS enables independent evaluation of hepatic arterial and portal
venous perfusion and can visualize physiological postprandial blood flow
redistribution, offering a safe, repeatable, and contrast-free tool for
assessing hepatic hemodynamics.

Correlated diffusion–relaxometry of neurofluids with echo‑shifted mGRE (ES‑QUTE): insights into CSF complexity and glymphatic
Impact: ES‑QUTE provides quantitative, multi‑component T2*
mapping and a mobility index simultaneously derived from diffusion weighting
along the echo train, delivering high contrast‑to‑noise at the
single‑voxel level. Correlated T2*–D
spectra disentangle aspects of dephasing and mobility, improving
understanding of CSF environments.

Strain Evaluation Using DENSE MRI with View Sharing During Dobutamine Stress Testing – A Preliminary Study
Impact: Strain
imaging using DENSE MRI with view sharing shows early feasibility in dobutamine
stress testing. The higher temporal resolution achieved with view-sharing DENSE
improves visual inspection and strain accuracy.

Dynamic view ordering for motion artefact reduction in brain MRI
Impact: Dynamic view ordering makes 3D Cartesian MRI more motion robust by personalising the sampling order to the subject pose in real-time. This results in artefact reduction in motion prone populations, such as children, for more accurate diagnoses and neuroimaging research.

Detecting the Undetected: Real-Time Anomaly Detection in the Female Pelvis
Impact: This work establishes a baseline for learning healthy female pelvic anatomy from MRI, enabling real-time reconstruction and deviation mapping through unsupervised deep learning, laying the foundation for a disease-agnostic framework accelerating diagnosis, improving reliability, and advancing AI in women’s imaging.

Unpaired Physics- and Structure-Guided Learning for Synthetic Quantitative MRI
Impact: The proposed method provides reliable T1/T2 maps from routine scans without paired labels or perfect physics, enabling retrospective multi-protocol analyses and biomarker discovery across sites through harmonization. It supports clinical application of quantitative MRI and broader medical image translation research.

Sensitivity of SENCEFUL towards the administration of Gd- contrast agent
Impact: SENCEFUL is robust to gadolinium-based
contrast administration, allowing flexible integration into multimodal MRI
protocols. Combined with cardiac MRI, SENCEFUL can efficiently bridge the waiting
period for late gadolinium enhancement acquisition, keeping protocols compact while
providing additional information.

Tensor-Based MPPCA Denoising for Multi-Band Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Data
Impact: Tensor-based
MPPCA denoising strategy can be employed for resting-state fMRI data
acquired with a multi-band sequence, effectively suppressing noise while
preserving neurophysiologically relevant low-frequency fluctuations.

Novel Echo-wise Weighting Deep Learning Physics-Informed Model for Fat-Water Quantification
Impact: Physics-informed Deep Learning-based Zero-Shot-models have shown
potential in improved fat-water separation with multi-echo MRIs. However,
fat-water swap artifacts in their generated maps still cause inaccurate fat
quantification. This study investigates a potential idea of echo-wise-weighting
to improve their noise performance.
