Impact: This work will be the first demonstration of an imaging system built on the Inward-Outward (IO) magnet. Success will validate the IO array as a low-cost platform for ULF MRI and open a path for accessible, point-of-care brain scanners.

Impact: Quantitative iron mapping after hemorrhage can replace subjective MRI interpretation with biomarkers for lesion staging and progression. This approach could enhance diagnostic precision, predict rebleeding risk, refine management of cerebrovascular disorders and establish measurable biomarkers for research investigating iron-modulating interventions.

Impact: A neural network–based, model-free DWI framework with synthetic b-value augmentation enables accurate cervical cancer assessment using fewer acquisitions, reducing scan time by 41% while outperforming ADC analysis, advancing efficient, accurate, and clinically feasible machine-learning-based diagnostics.

Impact: PET/MRI has superior potential for nodule detection in oncologic patients as compared with PET/CT with and without breath-hold CT.

Impact: This study quantified the impact of perfusion on MR cytometry imaging. Results indicated that perfusion indeed leads to deviations in fitted parameters, but its impact on clinical diagnosis is very limited, perfusion can be neglected in clinics for model simplification.

Impact: MR cytometry provides non-invasive imaging parameters that significantly correlate with key pathological markers of HCC aggressiveness, aiding in pre-treatment risk stratification and guiding personalized treatment planning.

Impact: ACS enables faster and higher-quality placental MRI without compromising diagnostic accuracy. This approach enhances patient comfort, reduces motion artifacts, and provides an efficient and clinically reliable imaging solution for prenatal assessment.

Impact: This pilot study demonstrates feasibility of comprehensive low-field MRI for lung physiology, combining volumetry and real-time lung water density mapping across positions. Initial results reveal gravity-driven redistribution, supporting future studies toward individualized assessment, therapeutic prediction, and computationally informed disease modeling.

Impact: This work further establishes that the human brain is extraordinarily soft in its natural state and that iMRE can uniquely and reliably recover its viscoelastic properties without artificial stiffness constraints.

Impact: The free-breathing VFA-UTE technique provides a simple and time-efficient approach to generate high-resolution 3D parametric maps of oxygen uptake in the lung parenchyma that is representative of regional functional differences

Impact: The optimized 3D UTE acquisition enables integrated imaging of lung and bone without radiation exposure, offering a viable alternative to CT in scenarios where longitudinal or dose-sensitive examinations are required.

Impact: This study establishes free-breathing 3D UTE for high-resolution lung MRI, providing robust, diagnostic-quality imaging without breath-hold constraints. It not only benefits a broader healthy population but also demonstrates exceptional utility in patients with pulmonary pathologies, enabling clear visualization of lesions.

Impact: 
This work presents a novel theoretical framework for interpreting asymmetric phase-cycled bSSFP signals influenced by anisotropic water proton relaxation and the data acquisition scheme. The observed asymmetry index in brain white matter can be largely accounted for by this framework.

Impact: This study identifies the "central bright spot sign" as a novel MRI biomarker for differentiating NAION from DON, achieving 92.93% diagnostic accuracy when combined with demographics, providing a non-invasive, objective tool for acute optic neuropathy diagnosis.

Impact: bT1RESS enables diagnostic-quality contrast-enhanced MRA several minutes after contrast administration but may be affected by wrap-around artifacts, especially in larger patients. Integrating inner-volume excitation with navigator-gated bT1RESS eliminates these artifacts, achieving high-quality, wrap-around artifact-free images with up to 14-fold acceleration.
