A new paper from Jiayi Tang et al describes a free-breathing MRI-based liver fat quantification method that works equivalently across systems of different MRI manufacturers. This addresses two limitations of currently available MRI-based fat quantification …

New work demonstrates explanted liver model for validating quantitative MRI method
A new paper from Simchick et al. has demonstrated the feasibility of using perfused explanted human livers for validating a quantitative MRI-based technique which evaluates tissue microstructure and microvascular flow (i.e., intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MRI). Explanted livers from deceased donors were connected to …

Dr. Diego Hernando joins ranks of ISMRM Fellows of the Society
Diego was named a Senior Fellow at this year’s ISMRM annual meeting for his contributions to quantitative MRI biomarkers of the abdomen and liver. This distinction is conferred on those who have made a significant …
Dr. Julius Heidenreich named 2025 ISMRM Junior Fellow
Julius was named a Junior Fellow at this year’s ISMRM annual meeting. The ISMRM Junior Fellow Program was established to recognize outstanding researchers at an early stage in their careers, with an established and long-term …
PDFF was the most accurate single classifier for diagnosing MASLD, MASH, and fibrotic MASH in patients undergoing weight loss surgery.
Prior work has shown that MRI-derived proton density fat fraction (PDFF) can diagnose metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) noninvasively, but there is a paucity of data on the performance of PDFF to classify more …
Congratulation to Dr. Yavuz Muslu!
Yavuz has successfully defended his dissertation on novel T1-mapping and T1-weighted methods! His work addresses a number of limitations with quantitative imaging of diffuse liver disease, and imaging for the detection and classification of lesions. …
Congratulations Dr. Collin Buelo!
Congratulations Collin for successfully defending his PhD dissertation! Collin has been a wonderful group member, contributing far beyond his own projects. We wish him the best of luck at GE Healthcare, where he’ll be a …
