  Figure 464-05-001.  Real-World Evidence from 80,000+ Whole-Body MRIs: Application of a Clinically Significant Diagnosis Scale
Madhurima Datta, Yosef Chodakiewitz, Rodrigo Solis Pompa, Pratik Shingru, Vikash Modi, Amar Patel, Giuliana Zaccardelli, Daniel Durand, Alex Exuzides
Prenuvo, Inc, San Francisco, United States of America
Impact: We present a novel structured framework for interpreting screening whole-body MRI, showing that only 5% of findings directly warrant further diagnostic work-up, reducing unnecessary follow-up and enabling efficient, evidence-based use of MRI in preventive health assessment.
  Figure 464-05-002.  Assessment of Regional Lung Function in Patients with Localized Nodules Using PREFUL MRI and Histogram Analysis
Qing Fu, Ting Yin, Yan-ling Ma, Robert Grimm, Xiang-chuang Kong
Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430022, China
Impact: Mean PREFUL-derived parameters exhibited limited correlation with global pulmonary function tests (PFTs) metrics, but regional heterogeneity, as quantified by histogram metrics, may serve as a sensitive imaging biomarker of early or localized functional abnormalities that traditional PFTs fail to detect.
  Figure 464-05-003.  Brain segmentation in alcohol-exposed neonates: a comparison of BabySeg to Infant FreeSurfer and manual tracing
Fleur Warton, Frances Robertson, R Carter, Andre van der Kouwe, Lilla Zöllei, Neil Dodge, Joseph Jacobson, Sandra Jacobson, Ernesta Meintjes
Biomedical Engineering Research Centre, Division of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Human Biology, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa
Impact: This work shows that BabySeg improves on IFS for segmentation of subcortical brain structures in neonates, approaching the reliability of manual tracing, and supports its use in large-scale studies of neonatal brain morphometry.
  Figure 464-05-004.  Generating cervical cancer probability maps with restriction spectrum imaging and machine learning
Cassandra Stoffer, Lance Moore, Sheida Ebrahimi, Cora Chun, Jacqueline Loh, Allison Bang, Tyler Seibert, Elise Roeca, Jyoti Mayadev, Michael McHale, Jingjing Zou, Ana Rodríguez-Soto, Rebecca Rakow-Penner
University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA, United States of America, United States of America
Impact: Restriction spectrum imaging (RSI) offers a quantitative metric for evaluating cancer location and stage. RSI-based cervical cancer probability maps offer a clinically feasible method of integrating the biophysical information of cancer provided by RSI into radiologists’ workflow.
  Figure 464-05-005.  MR imaging-based comparative study on four methods of the classification of anal fistulae
Xiaoyan Li, Baoping Zhao, Xiuxiu Yan, Chenchen Han, Zhao Wang, Lu Gao, Pang Du
Xi'an Daxing Hospital affiliated to Yan'an University, Xi'An, China
Impact: This study transforms advanced MRI technology into actionable clinical intelligence. It guides doctors to select the classification that best reveals the complexity of the fistula based on its characteristics, in order to tailor the best surgical plan for each patient.
  Figure 464-05-006.  Attention-Enhanced Few-Shot 3D U-Net for Infant Brain MRI Segmentation
Zaheer Abbas, Faizan ULLAH, Sergo Gegechkori, N. Jon Shah
INM-4, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Jülich, Germany
Impact: This work introduces a few-shot 3D segmentation framework tailored for infant brain MRI, combining attention mechanisms with episodic training. It delivers accurate tissue delineation from minimal annotations, lowering labelling burden and supporting early diagnosis in paediatric neuroimaging.
  Figure 464-05-007.  Hemodynamic 4D flow MRI atlas identifies regional flow changes in ischemic heart disease
Federica Viola, Merih Cibis, Carl-Johan Carlhäll, Ann Bolger, Jan Engvall, Tino Ebbers
Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden
Impact: Hemodynamic 4D flow MRI atlases may promote broader understanding of cardiovascular diseases by allowing automated regional, time-resolved comparisons.
  Figure 464-05-008.  Evaluating Region- and Age-Dependent Performance of Frangi Vesselness Filtering for Perivascular Space Segmentation
Ho-Ching Yang, Aibo Wang, Steven Broglio, Michael McCrea, Thomas McAllister, Yu-Chien Wu
Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, United States of America
Impact: PVS intrinsic morphology may modulate the performance of Frangi-derived segmentation.
  Figure 464-05-009.  Contrast-Free Assessment of Lung Ventilation and Perfusion in Dilated Cardiomyopathy via PREFUL MRI
Wenliang Fan, Peng Sun
Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China
Impact: PREFUL MRI offers a robust and noninvasive method to evaluate pulmonary ventilation and perfusion abnormalities in patients with DCM. This approach enhances our understanding of cardiopulmonary coupling and may serve as a sensitive imaging biomarker for disease severity and therapeutic monitoring.
  Figure 464-05-010.  Assessing Connective Tissue Disease-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease with Free-Breathing 3T 3D Ultrashort Echo Time MRI
Huiqiong Luo, Kai Li, Hao dong Qin, Bernd Kuehn
The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University,, Nanning, China
Impact: This study supports free-breathing 3T UTE MRI as a potential radiation-free alternative to high-resolution CT for connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease monitoring. This could transform patient follow-up by eliminating cumulative radiation risk, enabling safer long-term and repeatable surveillance.
  Figure 464-05-011.  Single-subject atlas-based lung and lobe segmentation from 3D low-field MRI
Carlos Valle, Javier Castro, Matias Hernández, Rodrigo Salas, Jaime Retamal, Ignacio Celis, Marcelo Andia, Cecilia Besa
iHEALTH, Millennium Institute for Intelligent Healthcare Engineering, Chile
Impact: Low-field 0.55T MRI combined with single-subject atlas-based segmentation enables radiation-free, scalable lung and lobe analysis from minimal data, facilitating accessible regional pulmonary assessment and longitudinal monitoring in data-scarse settings for clinical research and routine follow-up care globally.
  Figure 464-05-012.  The role of pelvic magnetic resonance imaging in pretreatment staging of patients with cervical cancer
Jonas Masaka, Lilian Salingwa, Anganile Kalinga, Amie Lee, Helena Machibya
Muhimbili University of Health and Allied sciences, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania
Impact: Pelvic MRI significantly enhances cervical cancer staging accuracy by detecting tumor extent and nodal involvement, enabling better treatment planning and prognostication. The findings support MRI integration into standard staging protocols and encourage research on cost-effective implementation in low-resource settings
  Figure 464-05-013.  MRI and Pathology-Based Predictors of Distant Metastasis in Soft Tissue Sarcoma: A Multi-Parameter Assessment Approach
Shaobo Fang, Manxia Huang, Meiyun Wang
Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Zhengzhou, China
Impact: Integrating MRI biomarkers (ADC, Ktrans) with histologic grade enables early, noninvasive prediction of metastasis risk in soft tissue sarcoma. This approach supports individualized therapy, improved surveillance strategies, and future research on imaging-based prognostic models for metastatic potential and treatment response.
  Figure 464-05-014.  Longitudinal evolution of MR findings following vascularized lymph node transplantation for lymphedema
