Uncovering the impact of the cardiovascular system on cerebrovascular health using MRI
Abstract Human cerebrovasculature is finely tuned to enable local changes in blood flow to meet the brain's demands, whilst protecting the brain from systemic changes in blood pressure, both acutely during a heartbeat and chronically over time. This review summarises cerebrovascular structure and function, their role in disease and neurodegeneration ...

Evaluation of Phantom Doping Materials in Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping
ABSTRACT Purpose To measure magnetic susceptibility (χ) with Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) and evaluate its repeatability using four phantom doping materials relevant to QSM applications. Methods A cylindrical phantom was constructed containing vials of agarose gel doped with two paramagnetic materials (ferritin, USPIO) and two diamagnetic ...

Exploring linearity of deep neural network trained QSM: QSMnet+
Recently, deep neural network-powered quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), QSMnet, successfully performed ill-conditioned dipole inversion in QSM and generated high-quality susceptibility maps. In this paper, the network, which was trained by healthy volunteer data, is evaluated for hemorrhagic lesions that have substantially higher ...

Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping of Kidney Stones: An Ex Vivo MRI Phantom Study
ABSTRACT Purpose To visualize and characterize the five most common kidney stone types based on their magnetic susceptibilities in MRI using QSM. Methods Three water‐based agar phantoms were constructed, containing a total of 53 ex vivo kidney stones of varying types and sizes.

Quantitative susceptibility mapping to evaluate the early stage of Alzheimer's disease
The objective of this study was to evaluate susceptibility changes caused by iron accumulation in cognitive normal (CN) elderly, those with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), and those with early state AD, and to compare the findings with gray ...

ABSTRACT Purpose To demonstrate the synergy of undersampled radial 2in1‐RARE‐EPI acquisition and nonlinear model‐based reconstruction for accelerated and simultaneous T2, T2*, and R2′ mapping in brains of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods 2in1‐RARE‐EPI combines a RARE module with an EPI module to capture T2 and T2* information.

Fully‐Constrained Variable Projection for Water‐Fat Models
ABSTRACT Purpose Variable projection (VARPRO) is an effective technique to reduce the dimensionality of least squares optimization problems through the elimination of linear parameters. For water‐fat models, constrained VARPRO variants have been proposed in the literature to ensure that water and fat components are aligned at TE = 0, thereby preventing
