2265. Magnetization Transfer Imaging of the Lung at 0.55T
A. Braun, G. Bauman, O. Bieri
University of Basel, Allschwil, Switzerland
Impact: This work shows that high-resolution in-vivo magnetization transfer imaging of the lung is feasible and reproducible at 0.55T in free-breathing and within clinically relevant scan times, offering excellent prospects to detect lung tissue abnormalities such as fibrosis.
 
Computer Number: 6
2266. Quantification of Gas Trapping in Cystic Fibrosis using Expiratory Breath-Hold Lung ¹H-MRI

POLARIS, Division of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health, The University of Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom
Impact: We developed a workflow to quantify gas trapping in CF using a standard, easily implementable 1H-MRI sequence.  Our proposed metric sensitively quantifies gas trapping in individuals with normal spirometry, suggesting its potential for early disease assessment.
 
Computer Number: 7
2267. Respiration Monitoring with Remote Pneumatic Dose Administration for 129Xe MRI

Duke University Medical Center, Durham, United States
Impact: Monitoring subject respiration prior to hyperpolarized 129Xe administration reveals altered respiration patterns. This work will inform new approaches for consistent subject coaching and dose delivery to improve repeatability of lung inflation during imaging.
 
Computer Number: 8
2268. Visualization of Vasoactive Treatment by Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 MRSI and Cardiogenic Oscillations
M. Andersen, M. Kristensen, E. Hansen, R. Schulte, M. Redda, U. Kjærgaard, M. Væggemose, C. Laustsen
Aarhus University, Aarhus N, Denmark
Impact: Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRSI enables non-invasive monitoring of pulmonary hypertension, facilitating early diagnosis and precise hemodynamic assessment. This approach supports optimized treatment, reduces hospitalizations, and enhances quality of life and survival in chronically ill patients.
 
Computer Number: 9
2269. Explainable AI-based classification of asthma and COPD from 129Xe-MRI with regional interpretability
J. Astley, H. Marshall, L. Smith, A. Biancardi, R. Hughes, B. Tahir, J. Wild
University of Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom
Impact: Novel use of xenon-129 (129Xe)-MRI to classify patients with asthma and/or COPD. Explainable AI techniques provide insights into regional patterns of ventilation associated with classifications; large-scale regional patterns that occur in 129Xe-MRI show qualitative differences in asthma and/or COPD phenotypes.

Impact: PFP-MRI may offer comparable ventilation information to Xe-MRI in children with reduced costs and infrastructure complexity, despite lower SNR and resolution. 
 
Computer Number: 11
2271. Use of Principal Component Analysis to Study Features Within Functional 1H Lung MRI at 3 T
Z. Peggs, S. Francis, P. Gowland
University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom
