Uniklinikum Erlangen, Erlangen, Germany
Impact: This pilot demonstrates the feasibility of uterine slice-to-volume reconstruction at 0.55T for isotropic 3D imaging from 2D T2-weighted stacks. Improved visualization and quantitative assessment of uterine layers may enhance diagnostic reliability and support consistent evaluation of adenomyosis and related conditions.
  Figure 365-04-003.  Interpretable machine learning model for differentiating US from ALM based on conventional MRI features and radiomics

The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China
Impact: Interpretable ML models integrating MRI biomarkers and radiomics provides clinically actionable tool for preoperative differentiation of US and ALM. This framework bridges the "black-box" gap in ML through SHAP, empowering clinicians to formulate precise interventions, such as appropriate surgical planning.
  Figure 365-04-004.  Towards fast uterine MRI to assess anatomy and peristalsis: a 0.55T study
Nyvenn da Mota Alves de Castro , Smiti Tripathy, Maria Bustos-Vivas, David Leitão, Jordina Aviles Verdera, Jana Hutter
Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Erlangen, Germany
Impact: Spiral MRI at 0.55T enables robust static and dynamic uterine imaging with improved motion resilience and reduced distortions compared to Cartesian and EPI acquisitions, offering a promising tool for assessing uterine peristalsis and thus advancing functional gynecological MRI applications.
  Figure 365-04-005.  Evaluation of Conventional MRI Sequences for Diagnosing Intrauterine Adhesions
Tianzhu Liu, Zhixuan Song, Xiaodan Li, Jiahui Tang, Wanchun Zhang, Lesheng Huang
Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zhuhai, China
Impact: This work establishes evidence for MRI-based evaluation of intrauterine adhesions, enabling standardized diagnostic criteria and encouraging the integration of advanced imaging analytics and AI models to refine noninvasive assessment and enhance reproductive healthcare outcomes.
  Figure 365-04-006.  Diving deep into uterine layers - quantitative uterine diffusion MRI at 0.55T
Smiti Tripathy, Milauni Desai, Lieselotte Kratzsch, Vignesh Pai, Stefanie Burghaus, Matthias Beckmann, Michael Uder, Matthias May, Jana Hutter
Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Erlangen, Germany
Impact: Uterine diffusion MRI at 0.55T enabled robust, noninvasive characterization of uterine microstructure. Distinct ADC and IVIM signatures across layers and subject groups reveal physiological, hormonal, and pathological alterations, supporting improved diagnosis and monitoring of uterine disorders.
  Figure 365-04-007.  Dynamic-Causal ViT: Dynamic and Explainable Evaluation of Chemoradiotherapy Response in Cervical Cancer Using Multi-Temporal
Hanxue Gao, Jie Li, Qinghe Han
The Second Hospital of Jilin University, Jilin, China
Impact: Dynamic-Causal ViT enables early, interpretable prediction of chemoradiotherapy response in cervical cancer. By visualizing evolving MRI biomarkers, it supports individualized treatment adjustment and opens new directions for dynamic, explainable AI in oncologic imaging.
  Figure 365-04-008.  Evaluation of the relationship between velocity-encoding direction and liver perfusion quantification in VSASL
Mareike Buck, Katalin Mueller, Jörn Huber, Klaus Eickel, Matthias Günther, Daniel Christopher Hoinkiss
Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS, Bremen, Germany
Impact: Our findings indicate VSASL hepatic perfusion estimates are broadly robust to venc direction, but z-direction acquisitions show motion-related bias in the upper liver. Selecting non-z venc directions and implementing cardiac gating may improve accuracy and reliability for perfusion quantification.
  Figure 365-04-009.  Deep Learning Analysis of Breast Diffusion MRI for Cancer Assessment Using Biophysically Informed Signal Representations

Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan
Impact: DKI and non-Gaussian parametric maps (sADC, ADC₀, K) may improve CNN diagnostic performance for breast lesion classification, demonstrating the effectiveness of a hybrid AI+model based approach over a simple multi-b-value raw signal AI approach.
  Figure 365-04-010.  Optimization of Acquisition Parameters in Sonic DL–Accelerated LAVA-FLEX: Effects of Slice Partial Fourier and Z-Resolution
