ABSTRACT Background Motion can degrade image quality during Ultrashort Time‐to‐Echo (UTE) pulmonary MRI and is particularly prevalent in patients with lung disease. Comprehensive assessment of the impact of motion compensation techniques on image quality and clinical interpretation is needed.

Postprandial Changes in Thoracic Aortic Flow Detected by 4D Flow MRI May Influence Study Results
ABSTRACT Background While there is a growing body of data using 4D flow MRI to distinguish between normal and abnormal blood flow values in the thoracic aorta, the extent of physiological variation or lack thereof is potentially undervalued. Physiological processes such as postprandial changes to hemodynamics might influence data, normal values, follow‐

Imaging post‐processing algorithms are helpful in improving the visibility of chest lines and tubes on standard chest X‐rays. Examples include the advanced edge enhancement and grey‐scale inversion, and this study evaluates the usefulness of these algorithms for enhancing visual image quality and reader confidence among student radiographers.
