Casper Mihl, Joey Cjg Pernot, Bjorn Winkens et al.
Background: Stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables accurate detection of myocardial ischemia. While contrast injection parameters, particularly iodine delivery rate, are known to influence image quality in CT, ...

Gadopiclenol for Cardiac MRI

Open DOI
Alena T. Kollmann, Henner Huflage, Ramin S. Dazeh et al.
Objectives: Due to its high relaxivity, the second-generation gadolinium-based contrast agent gadopiclenol has been shown to provide equally high image quality with reduced gadolinium dose. Gadopiclenol has not yet been approved for card...
05
Rebecca Ludwig, Mathias Schannor, Heike Traub et al.
Background: In multiple sclerosis (MS), mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to disease progression and may impair cognitive function, particularly in vulnerable regions such as the hippocampus. Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) ...
06
Cécile R.L.P.N. Jeukens, Florentina M.E. Pinckaers, Bibi Martens et al.
Purpose: Conventional energy integrating detector (EID) CT provides polyenergetic images where CT values depend on the tube voltage (kV), hampering quantitative analysis across different CT scans. To mitigate this problem, spectral CT su...
08
Mohammed Khalaf, Sebastian Altmann, Andrea Kronfeld et al.
Background: Single-shot echo-planar imaging DWI (ss-EPI DWI) is susceptible to geometric distortions near air–tissue interfaces, limiting diagnostic accuracy. Multishot readout-segmented DWI (RESOLVE DWI) mitigates these artifacts but re...
09
Christian Bojahr, Anton Sheahan Quinsten, Judith Kohnke et al.
Objectives: To evaluate whether CycleGAN-based synthesis of T2-HASTE images from routinely acquired fast whole-body localizer (FWBL) can support accelerated body composition analysis (BCA) by preserving sufficient information for an esta...

Euddeum Shim, Sungwon Ham, Baek Hyun Kim et al.
Objectives: This study aimed (1) to quantify the differential impact of deep learning (DL) reconstruction on brachial plexus (BP) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) image quality and quantitative metrics compared with conventional single-sho...
