The Second Hospital & Clinical Medical School, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, China
Impact: MRI plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of IgG4-SC. Via multi-sequence imaging, it clearly delineates the signal characteristics of intrahepatic masses. [1]This facilitates accurate clinical decision-making, obviates unnecessary surgical trauma, and ultimately significantly improves clinical prognosis.

Danny Lee, Rodney Wegner, Paul Renz, Alexander Kirichenko, Chirag Shah, Daniel Pavord
Allegheny Health Network Cancer Center, Pittsburgh, United States of America
Impact: To assess the efficiency of online adaptive MRI-guided SBRT for spine tumors using the Unity® system with sufficient contrast on MR images among the tumor, thecal sac, true code and spinal column, along with clear visualization of the target lesion.
  Figure 363-03-007.  Diffusion Tensor Imaging of the Femoral Physis – reproducibility and biological correlates
Francesca De Luca, Laura Santos, Camilo Perdomo-Luna, Linnéa Corell, Ferdinand von Walden, Ola Kvist
Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
Impact: FA provides the most reliable DTI marker of growth-plate structure, whereas 30-direction acquisitions enhance detection of biologically meaningful age- and height-related differences. Balancing angular resolution and signal averaging is critical for quantitative, clinically relevant diffusion imaging of the physis.
  Figure 363-03-008.  Mp2rage-based quantitative MRI enhances volumetric and relaxometric assessment in pediatric mitochondrial cytopathies.

Clocheville Hospital, University hospital of Tours, Tours, France
Impact: Quantitative MRI using MP2RAGE may improve radiologic assessment of pediatric mitochondrial cytopathies by revealing subtle tissue alterations not visible on conventional imaging. Its volumetric and relaxometric metrics could support objective follow-up and contribute to more standardized evaluation of neuro-metabolic diseases.
  Figure 363-03-009.  MRI in Clinical Practice: In vivo Multiparametric Mapping of Microstructural Changes in Parkinson’s Disease

University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Kiel, Germany
Impact: Multiparametric mapping (MPM) allows in vivo investigation of microstructural alterations in Parkinson's disease, deriving biologically and clinically meaningful markers of microstructural integrity. MPM supports the development of improved diagnostic and patient stratification tools, as well as personalized therapeutic interventions.
