Functional Assessment of Interstitial Lung Disease Using Oxygen-enhanced Multiparametric MRI
Impact: This integrated oxygen-enhanced multiparametric MRI provides an integrated,
non-invasive biomarker platform for the functional characterization of ILD
severity, potentially guiding personalized therapy.

Multi-shot DWI for non-contrast abbreviated MRI in HCC detection
Impact: Early
results suggest multi-shot DWI alone may be sufficient for HCC screening.

Optimizing perfusion quantification for phase-resolved functional lung MRI using Gaussian filtering
Impact: Applying
a Gaussian filter to the maximal blood exchange fraction in Phase-Resolved
Functional Lung (PREFUL) quantified perfusion calculation improves
repeatability and correlation to DCE, and enhances regional information. This
study provides an important foundation for more reliable PREFUL-based perfusion
measurements.

A comparative study of non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography of renal arteries based on 5.0T and 3.0T MRI with
Impact: MRI is indispensable for diagnosing renal artery pathologies. While contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) may exacerbate renal injury in patients with pre-existing renal impairment, non-contrast-enhanced renal artery MRI effectively circumvents this limitation.

Comparing Knee Magnetic Resonance Imaging at 3.0 T and 5.0 T Using 3D DESS Sequences
Impact: We found that DESS images of knee at 5.0 T showed higher SNR, better image quality as well as diagnostic confidence than 3.0T, especially for cartilage. 5.0 T MRI may improve accuracy in evaluating cartilage defects and diagnosis of osteoarthritis.

Free-breathing 4D lung imaging using a non-commercial very-low field MRI system
Impact: We
demonstrate the feasibility of free-breathing dynamic 4D whole-lung
imaging that captures the pulmonary respiratory cycle, adapted to the hardware constraints
of emerging very-low-field MRI systems, while leveraging the longer T2*
relaxation available at lower magnetic field strengths.

Body temperature before and after 7T MRI examination in relation to subjective heat stress – a descriptive pilot study
Impact: This pilot study demonstrates the feasibility of combining tympanic temperature measurements with subjective reports to assess heat stress during 7T MRI. Findings highlight discrepancies between objective and perceived warmth, prompting further research on SED, scan duration, and sex-related physiological differences.

Prediction of tumour hypoxia using machine learning applied to standard T1 and T2-weighted images
Impact: Our method
maps tumour hypoxia using standard T1-weighted and T2-weighted
MRI, avoiding the need for inhaled oxygen gas challenge. This supports image-guided
radiotherapy planning and treatment evaluation within realistic clinical
constraints.

Radiomics for Differentiating Benign Lesions from DCIS in Segmental NME: A Multicenter Retrospective Breast DCE-MRI Study
Impact: This study enables clinicians to noninvasively differentiate DCIS from benign segmental NME using DCE-MRI radiomics, potentially reducing unnecessary biopsies and guiding personalized management. It also opens avenues for exploring AI-driven imaging biomarkers in breast cancer diagnosis.

Pathological grade in cervical cancer: using time-dependent diffusion MRI and macromolecular proton fraction imaging
Impact: Time-dependent diffusion MRI and macromolecular proton fraction mapping are effective, noninvasive techniques for predicting the pathological grading of cervical cancer, and the combination of MPF, cellularity, and Vin holds promise as a novel imaging biomarker.

MRI in Clinical Practice: Cross-Vendor Variability in 3 T Wrist Cartilage and TFCC T2 Mapping
Impact: Our findings show that T2 mapping values for wrist cartilage and TFCC differ markedly between MRI vendors, limiting comparability. Cross-vendor differences can mimic or mask disease, highlighting the need for consistent scanning platforms or cross-calibration in clinical practice.

Quantitative Evaluation of Cervical Spine Morphometry: Zero Echo Time MRI versus Multislice CT
Impact: Zero Echo Time (ZTE) MRI enables accurate and radiation-free morphometric assessment of the cervical spine, providing clinically feasible alternatives to CT for preoperative planning and evaluation of spine disease.

A Quantitative Comparison of the Bias Field Correction Approaches for B1 Field Inhomogeneity Correction in Pulmonary UTE MRI
Impact: The lungs having large air-tissue interfaces and strong B1 field inhomogeneity, the “smooth bias”
assumption may not hold. The results indicate reliable B1 field
corrections but highlight the need for further development of a standard method
for correcting B1 inhomogeneities.

Surface-Based Correspondence Between R2* and T1w/T2w Cortical Maps in Healthy Adults at 3T
Impact: We demonstrate correspondence between
cortical R2* and T1w/T2w measures, supporting their combined utility for
noninvasive mapping of iron-myelin architecture in vivo, and advancing
multimodal MRI approaches for assessing cortical microstructure in health and
disease.

Empirically Derived Optimization Guidelines for Implementing MR Elastography in High Performance Gradient Systems
Impact: These empirical guidelines provide
constraint-based guidance necessary to effectively utilize high-performance
gradients in MRE. This work enables optimal OSS-SNR and sets a foundation for

T2-anisotropy in Ex Vivo White Matter Described by the Transient Hydrogen Bond Model
Impact: T2-anisotropy effects
are subtle but can be reliably investigated under optimized (ex vivo) experimental
conditions. An excellent agreement was obtained between the observed
orientation dependence and the Transient Hydrogen Bond (THB) model, resulting
in consistently plausible biophysical model parameters.
