4050. Nature
and Nurture: Assessing Brain Heritability using Diffusion
Tensor-Based Morphometry on Data from the Human Connectome
Project
R. Hafiz, G. Kislik, M. O. Irfanoglu, A. Nayak, C. Pierpaoli
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, United States
Impact: The DTBM-derived results indicated that nature
and nurture affect the brain ‘size’ more than ‘tissue
microstructure’ (assessed by DTI metrics). This is
potentially significant for future applications of DTBM in
heritability analysis and their possible associations to
behavioral features.

Accuracy
W. Peng, S. wang, H. zhang
National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Beijing, China
Impact: This study demonstrated the clinical feasibility
of DLR-enhanced rFOV DWI for rectal cancer. It improved the
spatial resolution and the discriminability of
mucosa-submucosa-muscularis layers, which facilitated higher
T-staging accuracy, especially in early-stage tumors.

4054. SdADC:
Semi-supervised Diffusion MRI Artefact Detection and
Classification
X. Wang, Z. Liu, S. Chen, H. Li, H. Wang, M. Barnett, W.
Cai, C. Wang, Z. Tang
The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia
Impact: Our method improves dMRI data reliability by
automating artifact detection and classification using a
two-stage deep learning approach with angular
resolution-enhanced FA. The propsoed framework consistently
identifies and categorizes artifacts, enhancing
preprocessing and analysis across large-scale diffusion MRI
datasets.

4055. Observation
of central nervous system and body fluid viscosity of Trypoxulus
dichotomus (Coleoptera) in the pupal stage using 9.4-T MRI.
S. Ikegami, R. Harada, Y. Kusaba, A. Horie, Y. Oda, K.
Niihara, M. Yoshida, T. Inoue A., K. Kuroda
Tokai University, Hiratsuka, Kanagawa, Japan
Impact: The present results show that the nerve fibers
and ganglia remain, while other tissues are developed. These
findings give new insight into the relationship between the
central nerve system and metamorphosis in holometabolous
insects.

4056. Biexponential
fitting to filter CSF-rich voxels and denoise diffusion-weighted
image data: improving MADI quantification
G. Wilson, X. Li, M. Pike, C. Springer
University of Washington, Seattle, United States
Impact: MADI produces quantitative maps of physiologic
cellular parameters: cell volume, cell density, and
oxidative metabolism. It uniquely characterizes tumor
metabolism and treatment response. This work improves MADI
accuracy by robust filtering of CSF-rich voxels.

4057. Fixel-based
tractometry unravels the structural-functional coupling of
vision in children with unilateral cerebral palsy
A. Radwan, M. Crotti, L. Kleeren, N. Ben Itzhak, L.
Mailleux, D. Christiaens, H. Feys, P. Dupont, E. Ortibus, S.
Sunaert
KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium
Impact: This study leverages advanced fixel-based
tractometry (FBT) to explore segment-specific
structural-functional relationships in visual pathways of
children with unilateral cerebral palsy, potentially
providing insights that could guide future research and
improve individualized care for visual impairments in this
population.

for non-invasive IDH genotyping in diffuse gliomas, offering
valuable insights into tumor biology and advancing the field
toward more personalized treatment strategies in
neuro-oncology.

Diffusion MRI
S. Gupta, G. Rathi, K. Bodempudi, V. Mishra
University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, United States
Impact: Our study suggests voxelwise dMRI harmonization
using either ComBat or RISH should be interpreted with
caution. Furthermore, when need be, traditional methods of
using site as regressors may be as powerful as ComBat or
RISH for statistical analysis.
