Data Stitching for Dynamic Field Monitoring With NMR Probes
ABSTRACT Purpose To propose a new method for characterizing sequences with higher resolution or readout length than allowed by standard field monitoring approaches. Methods Our proposed method was devised to characterize entire readout gradients by stitching multiple segment‐specific dynamic field measurements obtained across a matched number of ...

Read My Leads: Subject‐Specific RF Hazard Assessment and Mitigation for DBS Implants in MRI
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop and validate a framework for personalized, implant‐specific MRI safety assessments using feedback from commercial deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems. To further use this framework to suppress RF‐induced heating with minimum compromise in imaging performance.

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 demonstrate the feasibility of a novel dual‐phase self‐navigated, free‐breathing balanced steady‐state free‐precession whole‐heart MRA acquisition for aortic annulus size measurement using a Cartesian trajectory that mitigates eddy‐current artifacts by minimizing k‐space jumps between consecutive readouts with predictable scan times.

ABSTRACT Purpose: Low‐power (LP) chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) Z‐spectra have significantly reduced confounding effects and enhanced peak resolvability, thereby improving the observation and quantification of various CEST effects. However, LP Z‐spectra suffer greatly from reduced contrast‐to‐noise ratio (CNR).

Motion Correction in High‐Resolution 3D Brain MRSI Without Water and Lipid Suppression
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop an effective method for correcting head motion in high‐resolution, non‐water‐suppressed MRSI. Methods MRSI scans are susceptible to subject motion due to the long data acquisition time required for sufficient spatial‐spectral encodings.

Online Spatiotemporally Constrained Reconstruction for Real‐Time Interactive MRI
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a low‐latency dynamic MRI reconstruction that provides better spatial and temporal fidelity than contemporary online reconstruction, for localization. Methods We utilize online spatiotemporally constrained reconstruction (STCR) using a computationally efficient augmented Lagrangian solution and a limited number of iterations

ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a method for optimizing pulsed saturation transfer MR fingerprinting (ST MRF) acquisition. Methods The Cramér–Rao bound (CRB) for variance assessment was employed on Bloch–McConnell‐based simulated signals, followed by a numerical sequential quadratic programming optimization and basin‐hopping avoidance of local minima ...
