Purpose: To develop a model-based nonlinear reconstruction for simultaneous water-specific $T_{1}$, $R_{2}^{*}$, $B_{0}$ field and/or fat fraction (FF) mapping using single-shot inversion-recovery (IR) multi-echo radial FLASH. Methods: The…

This work introduced a stack-of-radial multi-echo asymmetric-echo MRI sequence for free-breathing liver volumetric acquisition. Regularized model-based reconstruction was implemented in Berkeley Advanced Reconstruction Toolbox (BART) to…

Relaxometry studies in preterm and at-term newborns have provided insight into brain microstructure, thus opening new avenues for studying normal brain development and supporting diagnosis in equivocal neurological situations. However, such…

T2 mapping in fetal brain MRI has the potential to improve characterization of the developing brain, especially at mid-field (0.55T), where T2 decay is slower. However, this is challenging as fetal MRI acquisition relies on multiple…

Purpose: To develop a technique for joint measurement of fat and water-specific longitudinal relaxation rates (R1f and R1w), effective transverse relaxation rate (R2*), and proton density fat fraction (PDFF) combining the Multi-Echo…

Purpose: To develop a free-breathing myocardial T1 mapping technique using inversion-recovery (IR) radial fast low-angle shot (FLASH) and calibrationless motion-resolved model-based reconstruction. Methods: Free-running (free-breathing,…

Purpose: A new method for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging water-fat separation using a convolutional neural network (ConvNet) and deep learning (DL) is presented. Feasibility of the method with complex and magnitude images is demonstrated…

Resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is a powerful imaging technique for studying functional development of the brain in utero. However, unpredictable and excessive movement of fetuses has limited clinical application…

In radial fast spin-echo MRI, a set of overlapping spokes with an inconsistent T2 weighting is acquired, which results in an averaged image contrast when employing conventional image reconstruction techniques. This work demonstrates that…

Purpose: This study aims to develop a high-resolution whole-brain multi-parametric quantitative MRI approach for simultaneous mapping of myelin-water fraction (MWF), T1, T2, and proton-density (PD), all within a clinically feasible scan…

The fetal cortical plate undergoes drastic morphological changes throughout early in utero development that can be observed using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. An accurate MR image segmentation, and more importantly a topologically…

Fetal brain extraction is a necessary first step in most computational fetal brain MRI pipelines. However, it has been a very challenging task due to non-standard fetal head pose, fetal movements during examination, and vastly heterogeneous…

Purpose: To develop a fat-water separation approach that corrects bipolar readout gradient induced effects, without additional scans, that is compatible with any fat-water separation method. Theory and Methods: The proposed approach…

The reconstruction of cortical surfaces is a prerequisite for quantitative analyses of the cerebral cortex in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Existing segmentation-based methods separate the surface registration from the surface…

Purpose: To develop a MRI acquisition and reconstruction framework for volumetric cine visualisation of the fetal heart and great vessels in the presence of maternal and fetal motion. Methods: Four-dimensional depiction was achieved using a…

Motion correction is an essential preprocessing step in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) of the fetal brain with the aim to remove artifacts caused by fetal movement and maternal breathing and consequently to suppress erroneous…

Multi-slice magnetic resonance images of the fetal brain are usually contaminated by severe and arbitrary fetal and maternal motion. Hence, stable and robust motion correction is necessary to reconstruct high-resolution 3D fetal brain…

Purpose: To develop an MRI technique for free-breathing 3D whole-liver quantification of water T1, water T2, proton density fat fraction (PDFF), R2*. Methods: An Eight-echo spoiled gradient echo pulse sequence with spiral readout was…

Purpose: To develop a single-shot multi-slice T1 mapping method by combing simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) excitations, single-shot inversion-recovery (IR) radial fast low-angle shot (FLASH) and a nonlinear model-based reconstruction method.…

Magnetic resonance imaging of whole fetal body and placenta is limited by different sources of motion affecting the womb. Usual scanning techniques employ single-shot multi-slice sequences where anatomical information in different slices…
