Recent graduate Dr. Xiaoke Wang is the lead author on a paper detailing a novel method for encoding T2 in the phase signal of GRE methods. Wang X, Hernando D, Reeder SB. Phase-based T2 mapping with gradient echo imaging. Magn Reson Med. 2020 Aug;84(2):609-619. doi: 10.1002/mrm.28138. Epub 2019 Dec 24. PMID: 31872470; PMCID: PMC7180093. Abstract …
Ruiyang Zhao is the lead author on a new paper demonstrating a novel free-breathing method for liver fat quantification. This method shows promise for imaging in patients that have difficulty with breath holds, such as pediatric populations. Zhao R, Zhang Y, Wang X, Colgan TJ, Rehm JL, Reeder SB, Johnson KM, Hernando D. Motion-robust, high-SNR …
Ante Zhu is the lead author on two recent papers on the development and evaluation of advanced chemical shift encoded (CSE) techniques in quantitative body MRI. The first of these works used ultra-short TE CSE technique to characterize a short-T2* MR signal component in the liver. This short-T2* signal is observed to confound liver fat quantification …
Annie Zhang, Diego Hernando, and colleagues have recently developed a novel motion-robust and blood-suppressed diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) sequence. In this study, the DWI method entitled M1‐optimized diffusion imaging (MODI) was proposed to acquire motion‐robust, blood‐suppressed liver DWI with optimized (ie: minimum TE) diffusion encoding waveforms. The proposed diffusion gradient waveforms are also designed to satisfy …
