Article Abstract
For 3D radial data reconstruction in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fast Fourier transform via gridding (gFFT) is widely used for its fast processing and flexibility. In comparison, conventional 3D filtered back projection (cFBP), while more robust against common radial k-space centering errors, suffers from long computation times and is less frequently used. In this study, we revisit another back-projection reconstruction strategy, namely two-step 2D filtered back-projection (tsFBP), as an alternative 3D radial MRI reconstruction method that combines computational efficiency and certain error tolerance. In order to compare the three methods (gFFT, cFBP, and tsFBP), theoretical analysis was performed to evaluate the number of computational steps involved in each method. Actual reconstruction times were also measured and compared using 3D radial-MRI data of a phantom and a human brain. Additionally, the sensitivity of tsFBP to artifacts caused by radial k-space centering errors was compared with the other methods. Compared to cFBP, tsFBP dramatically improved the reconstruction speed while retaining the benefit of tolerance to the radial k-space errors. Our study therefore suggests that tsFBP can be a promising alternative to the conventional back projection method for 3D radial MRI reconstruction.

Based on a 3D pre-treatment magnetic resonance (MR) scan, we developed DREME-MR to jointly reconstruct the reference patient anatomy and solve a data-driven, patient-specific cardiorespiratory motion model. Via a motion encoder simultaneously learned during the reconstruction, DREME-MR further enables real-time volumetric MR imaging and cardiorespiratory motion tracking with minimal intra-treatment k-space data. Approach: DREME-MR integrates dynamic MRI reconstruction and real-time MR imaging into a unified, dual-task learning framework.

Background: Quantitative mapping of the longitudinal relaxation rate (R1=1/T1) is a major building block for several multiparametric MRI protocols intended for adaptive radiation therapy planning. The implementation of these protocols is challenging in anatomical sites that experience large physiological motion.
Purpose: To implement and validate a motion-resolved quantitative T1 mapping method on a 1.

Fast radial-MRI approaches based on compressed sensing (CS) and deep learning (DL) often use non-uniform fast Fourier transform (NUFFT) as the forward imaging operator, which might introduce interpolation errors and reduce image quality. Using the polar Fourier transform (PFT), we developed fully polar CS and DL algorithms for fast 2D cardiac radial-MRI. Our methods directly reconstruct images in polar spatial space from polar k-space data, eliminating frequency interpolation and ensuring an easy-to-compute data consistency term for the DL framework via the variable splitting (VS) scheme.

Purpose: Hyperpolarized (HP) carbon-13 (C) MRSI provides real-time information about metabolic processes but lacks high temporal and spatial resolution. This study introduces a multi-echo-balanced steady-state free precession (ME-bSSFP) method with a 3D radial readout trajectory in a spiral phyllotaxis pattern as a method for non-Cartesian HP C MRSI that allows for flexible reconstruction with high spatiotemporal resolution.
Methods: The approach uses ME-bSSFP with iterative decomposition of echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation (IDEAL) for separating C metabolite signals.

Purpose: To develop a rapid, high-resolution, and distortion-free technique for simultaneous water-fat separation, and mapping of the fetal brain at 3 T.
Methods: A 2D multi-echo radial FLASH sequence with blip gradients is adapted for data acquisition during maternal free breathing. A calibrationless model-based reconstruction with sparsity constraints is developed to jointly estimate water, fat, and field maps directly from k-space.
