Article Abstract

Subject motion can cause artifacts in clinical MRI, frequently necessitating repeat scans. We propose to alleviate this inefficiency by predicting artifact scores from partial multi-shot multi-slice acquisitions, which may guide the operator in aborting corrupted scans early.

Background: In clinical practice, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) often suffers from misregistration artifact resulting from voluntary, respiratory, and cardiac motion during acquisition. Most prior efforts to register the background DSA mask to subsequent postcontrast images rely on key point registration using iterative optimization, which has limited real-time application.

Purpose: Leveraging state-of-the-art, unsupervised deep learning, we aim to develop a fast, deformable registration model to substantially reduce DSA misregistration in craniocervical angiography without compromising spatial resolution or introducing new artifacts.

Background: In contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) and contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis (CEDBT), low-energy (LE) and high-energy (HE) images are acquired after injection of iodine contrast agent. Weighted subtraction is then applied to generate dual-energy (DE) images, where normal breast tissues are suppressed, leaving iodinated objects enhanced. Currently, clinical systems employ a dual-shot (DS) method, where LE and HE images are acquired with two separate exposures.

Background: Four-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (4D-MRI) holds great promise for precise abdominal radiotherapy guidance. However, current 4D-MRI methods are limited by an inherent trade-off between spatial and temporal resolutions, resulting in compromised image quality characterized by low spatial resolution and significant motion artifacts, hindering clinical implementation. Despite recent advancements, existing methods inadequately exploit redundant frame information and struggle to restore structural details from highly undersampled acquisitions.

Understanding gastric physiology in rodents is critical for advancing preclinical neurogastroenterology research. However, existing techniques are often invasive, terminal, or limited in resolution. This study aims to develop a non-invasive, standardized MRI protocol capable of capturing whole-stomach dynamics in anesthetized rats with high spatiotemporal resolution.

Biomolecular dynamics in the microsecond-to-millisecond (µs-ms) timescale are linked to various biological functions, such as enzyme catalysis, allosteric regulation, and ligand recognition. In solution state NMR, Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) relaxation dispersion experiments are commonly used to probe µs-ms timescale motions, providing detailed kinetic, thermodynamic, and mechanistic information at the atomic level. For investigating conformational dynamics in high-molecular-weight biomolecules, methyl groups serve as ideal probes due to their favorable relaxation properties, and C CPMG relaxation dispersion is widely employed for characterizing dynamics in selectively CH-labeled samples.
