Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables non-invasive 3D thermometry during thermal ablation of cancerous tumors. While T1 or T2 contrast MRI are relatively insensitive to temperature, techniques with greater temperature sensitivity such as…

Cardiac T1 mapping provides critical quantitative insights into myocardial tissue composition, enabling the assessment of pathologies such as fibrosis, inflammation, and edema. However, the inherently dynamic nature of the heart imposes…

Fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) have been exploited as sensitive quantum probes for nanoscale chemical and biological sensing applications, with the majority of demonstrations to date relying on the detection of single FNDs. This places…

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…

Quantitative magnetic resonance (MR) T1\r{ho} mapping is a promising approach for characterizing intrinsic tissue-dependent information. However, long scan time significantly hinders its widespread applications. Recently, low-rank tensor…

T2 weighted imaging of the spine is commonly performed using fast spin echo (FSE/TSE) based sequences, resulting in long scan times and vulnerability to motion artifacts. While single shot fast spin echo sequences have been attempted, their…

In positron emission tomography (PET), time-of-flight (TOF) information localizes source positions along lines of response. Cherenkov-radiator-integrated microchannel-plate photomultiplier tubes have achieved 30 ps TOF resolution,…

While typical qualitative T1-weighted magnetic resonance images reflect scanner and protocol differences, quantitative T1 mapping aims to measure T1 independent of these effects. Changes in T1 in the brain reflect structural changes in…

Multicomponent T2-mapping using a gradient and spin-echo (GraSE) acquisition has become standard for myelin water imaging at 3T. Higher magnetic field strengths promise SNR benefits but face specific absorption rate limits and shortened T2…
