Multi-modal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a crucial role in comprehensive disease diagnosis in clinical medicine. However, acquiring certain modalities, such as T2-weighted images (T2WIs), is time-consuming and prone to be with…

Recent advances in Vision Transformers (ViTs) have significantly enhanced medical image segmentation by facilitating the learning of global relationships. However, these methods face a notable challenge in capturing diverse local and global…

Computed ultrasound tomography in echo mode (CUTE) allows determining the spatial distribution of speed-of-sound (SoS) inside tissue using handheld pulse-echo ultrasound (US). This technique is based on measuring the changing phase of…

Purpose: To develop and evaluate a cardiovascular magnetic resonance sequence (MyoFold) for rapid myocardial tissue and movement characterization. Method: MyoFold sequentially performs joint T1/T2 mapping and cine for one left-ventricle…

Speed-of-sound (SoS) is a novel imaging biomarker for assessing biomechanical characteristics of soft tissues. SoS imaging in pulse-echo mode using conventional ultrasound systems with hand-held transducers has the potential to enable new…

Recently, a new neutron spectroscopy for the dynamics in complex (bio-) systems has been proposed [A. Benedetto, and G. J. Kearley, Sci. Rep. 6, 34266, (2016)]. This spectroscopy is ideal where only the overall relaxation time in a…

Recent studies on T1-assisted MRI reconstruction for under-sampled images of other modalities have demonstrated the potential of further accelerating MRI acquisition of other modalities. Most of the state-of-the-art approaches have achieved…

Purpose: Dynamic angiography using arterial spin labeling (ASL) can provide detailed hemodynamic information. However, the long time-resolved readouts require small flip angles to preserve ASL signal for later timepoints, limiting SNR. By…

Objective: We evaluate a fully-automated femoral cartilage segmentation model for measuring T2 relaxation values and longitudinal changes using multi-echo spin echo (MESE) MRI. We have open sourced this model and corresponding…

Magnetic resonance with ensembles of electron spins is nowadays performed in frequency ranges up to 240 GHz and in corresponding magnetic fields of up to 10 T. However, experiments with single electron and nuclear spins so far only reach…

Multi-echo magnetic resonance (MR) images are acquired by changing the echo times (for T2 weighted) or relaxation times (for T1 weighted) of scans. The resulting (multi-echo) images are usually used for quantitative MR imaging. Acquiring MR…

Oscillating-gradient spin-echo diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (OGSE-DWI) has been promoted as a promising technique for studying the microstructure of complex hydrated matter in the frequency domain. The target of the…

Accurate segmentation of spinal structures in X-ray images is a prerequisite for quantitative scoliosis assessment, including Cobb angle measurement, vertebral translation estimation and curvature classification. In routine practice,…

Spin-echo instruments are typically used to measure diffusive processes and the dynamics and motion in samples on ps and ns timescales. A key aspect of the spin-echo technique is to determine the polarisation of a particle beam. We present…

The emergence of effective $S=1/2$ spins at the edges of $S=1$ Haldane spin chains is one of the simplest examples of fractionalization. Whereas there is indirect evidence of this phenomenon, direct measurement of the magnetic moment of an…

Estimating closely spaced frequency components of a signal is a fundamental problem in statistical signal processing. In this letter, we introduce 1-D real-valued and complex-valued shifted window (Swin) transformers, referred to as…

Vertebral labelling and segmentation are two fundamental tasks in an automated spine processing pipeline. Reliable and accurate processing of spine images is expected to benefit clinical decision-support systems for diagnosis, surgery…

We report on electron spin resonance spectroscopy measurements using a superconducting flux qubit with a sensing volume of 6 fl. The qubit is read out using a frequency-tunable Josephson bifurcation amplifier, which leads to an inferred…
