Purpose: Hyperpolarized imaging experiments have conflicting requirements of high spatial, temporal, and spectral resolution. Spectral-Spatial RF excitation has been shown to form an attractive magnetization-efficient method for…
We demonstrated the feasibility of using bSSFP acquisitions for off-resonance insensitive high-resolution [6,6'-2H2]-glucose deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) studies in the healthy human brain at 9.4T. Balanced SSFP acquisitions have…
Purpose: A novel subspace-based reconstruction method for frequency-modulated balanced steady-state free precession (fmSSFP) MRI is presented. In this work, suitable data acquisition schemes, subspace sizes, and efficiencies for banding…
Balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) can be used as an alternative to gradient-echo (GE) EPI for BOLD functional MRI when image distortions and signal drop-outs are severe such as at ultra-high field. However, 3D-bSSFP acquisitions…
Balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) imaging enables high scan efficiency in MRI, but differs from conventional sequences in terms of elevated sensitivity to main field inhomogeneity and nonstandard T2/T1-weighted tissue contrast.…
Purpose: To develop an approach for improving the resolution and sensitivity of hyperpolarized 13C MRSI based on a priori anatomical information derived from featured, water-based 1H images. Methods: A reconstruction algorithm exploiting 1H…
Vision transformers, with their ability to more efficiently model long-range context, have demonstrated impressive accuracy gains in several computer vision and medical image analysis tasks including segmentation. However, such methods need…
Large-scale volumetric medical images with annotation are rare, costly, and time prohibitive to acquire. Self-supervised learning (SSL) offers a promising pre-training and feature extraction solution for many downstream tasks, as it only…

Background: Three-dimensional, whole heart, balanced steady state free precession (WH-bSSFP) sequences provide delineation of intra-cardiac and vascular anatomy. However, they have long acquisition times. Here, we propose significant speed…
Gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MRI is essential for the detection and characterization of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, acquisition of the hepatobiliary phase (HBP) requires a prolonged post-contrast delay, which reduces workflow…

Modeling the evolution of high-dimensional systems from limited snapshot observations at irregular time points poses a significant challenge in quantitative biology and related fields. Traditional approaches often rely on dimensionality…
Recent advances in text-to-3D generation have made significant progress. In particular, with the pretrained diffusion models, existing methods predominantly use Score Distillation Sampling (SDS) to train 3D models such as Neural RaRecent…
In this work we explored the use of patient specific reinforced learning to generate 3D activity maps from two 2D planar images (anterior and posterior). The solution of this problem remains unachievable using conventional methodologies and…
Myocardial perfusion imaging using SPECT is widely utilized to diagnose coronary artery diseases, but image quality can be negatively affected in low-dose and few-view acquisition settings. Although various deep learning methods have been…

Self-supervised learning (SSL) and diffusion models have advanced representation learning and image synthesis, but in 3D medical imaging they are still largely used separately for analysis and synthesis, respectively. Unifying them is…
In this paper, we propose an enhanced 3D myocardial strain estimation procedure, which combines complementary displacement information from multiple orientations of a single imaging modality (untagged CMR SSFP images). To estimate…
