Sampling of non‐Gaussian Ensemble Average Propagators for the simulation of diffusion magnetic resonance images [PDF]
Abstract Purpose (a) To design a methodology for drawing random samples of any Ensemble Average Propagator (EAP) (b) to modify the KomaMRI simulator to accommodate them as realistic spin movements to simulate diffusion MRI (dMRI) and (c) to compare these simulations with those based on the Diffusion Tensor (DT) model.

Reducing thermal noise in high‐resolution quantitative magnetic resonance imaging rotating frame relaxation mapping of the human brain at 3 T [PDF]
Whole‐brain rotating frame relaxation (RFR) mapping is generally implemented at moderate spatial resolutions. Our results showed that applying transform domain NORDIC (T‐NORDIC) before fitting improves the reliability of RFR parameter estimations, especially at higher spatial resolution, a benefit that can be critical for clinical applications ...

Feasibility of strong diffusion encoding and fast readout using a plug‐and‐play head gradient insert at 7 T [PDF]
Purpose Diffusion weighting is achieved by the application of external field gradients typically for tens of milliseconds, during which the signal also substantially decays due to inherent T2 relaxation. Employing strong gradients will shorten the echo time (TE) and increase the signal‐to‐noise ratio.

Compressed sensing reconstruction for high‐SNR, rapid dissolved 129Xe gas exchange MRI [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Three‐dimensional hyperpolarized 129Xe gas exchange imaging suffers from low SNR and long breath‐holds, which could be improved using compressed sensing (CS). The purpose of this work was to assess whether gas exchange ratio maps are quantitatively preserved in CS‐accelerated dissolved‐phase 129Xe imaging and to investigate the ...

Pore size estimation in axon‐mimicking microfibers with diffusion‐relaxation MRI [PDF]
Abstract Purpose This study aims to evaluate two distinct approaches for fiber radius estimation using diffusion‐relaxation MRI data acquired in biomimetic microfiber phantoms that mimic hollow axons. The methods considered are the spherical mean power‐law approach and a T2‐based pore size estimation technique.

In Vivo Characterization of Magnetic Inclusions in the Subcortex From Nonexponential Transverse Relaxation Decay [PDF]
Nonexponential transverse relaxation decay allows to characterize the spatial distribution of magnetic material within subcortical grey matter tissue. ABSTRACT According to theoretical studies, MRI signal decay due to transverse relaxation in brain tissue with magnetic inclusions (e.g., blood vessels and iron‐rich cells) is expected to follow a ...

Covariance Estimation for Wide Data
Covariance matrix estimation is fundamental to multivariate analysis, with applications spanning finance, genomics, climate science, and signal processing. This review synthesizes recent advances in high‐dimensional covariance estimation‐thresholding, linear and nonlinear shrinkage, graphical models, and random matrix theory‐under a unifying framework ...

In this article, we study Va-transformation of a measure and of a convolution (denoted by a) defined for a∈R. We provide significant insights into the stability of the free Meixner family of probability measures under Va-transformation.

Abstract We consider a planar Coulomb gas ensemble of size N$N$ with the inverse temperature β=2$\beta =2$ and external potential Q(z)=|z|2−2clog|z−a|$Q(z)=|z|^2-2c \log |z-a|$, where c>0$c>0$ and a∈C$a \in \mathbb {C}$. Equivalently, this model can be realised as N$N$ eigenvalues of the complex Ginibre matrix of size (c+1)N×(c+1)N$(c+1) N \times (c+1)
