Motion Mitigation Techniques for Abdominal and Cardiac MR Imaging
ABSTRACT MRI of the heart and abdominal organs provides unparalleled soft tissue contrast and quantitative biomarkers, yet remains highly susceptible to physiological motion. Contractions of the myocardium, respiratory excursions, peristalsis, vascular pulsatility, and unpredictable bulk patient movement generate artifacts that impair image quality ...

What If Each Voxel Were Measured With a Different Diffusion Protocol?
ABSTRACT Purpose Expansion of diffusion MRI (dMRI) both into the realm of strong gradients and into accessible imaging with portable low‐field devices brings about the challenge of gradient nonlinearities. Spatial variations of the diffusion gradients make diffusion weightings and directions non‐uniform across the field of view, and deform perfect ...

ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate contrast‐enhanced T1‐weighted MRI and diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) for early prediction of tumor response to combined irreversible electroporation (IRE) and anti‐PD‐1 immunotherapy. Methods Murine pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells KRAS* were inoculated into the pancreas of C57BL/6 mice.

The Effect of Voxel Volume and Voxel Shape on Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging Metrics
ABSTRACT Purpose Cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI) is signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR)‐limited due to diffusion signal attenuation, long echo times from gradient moment nulling, and moderate myocardial T 2$$ {}_2 $$. Increasing voxel volume improves SNR but reduces spatial sensitivity and introduces physiological bias.

ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) beyond the brain through realistic simulations and to explore preliminary evidence that may be indicative of hypoxia in skull base chordomas (SBC). Methods Each step of the QSM pipeline was optimized within an in silico framework consisting of (i) phase unwrapping, (ii) background ...
