17:05 5298. White matter axon effective radii a biomarker for acute mild TBI by a high B value Diffusion weighted imaging in a high performance head only scanner.
G. Kohls, H. Yalewayker, H. Morris, J. DeMarco, T. Foo, V. Ho
USUSH/WRNMMC, Bethesda, United States
Impact: : High B-value diffusion imaging (b > 30000 mm2/sec) can detect changes in mild TBI subjects that can be seen to progress through the recoveryprocess. The high-performance gradient system, MAGNUS, (200mT/m, 500T/m/s) scanning without peripheral nerve stimulation in the subject.
17:05 5299. Accuracy of liver fat-fraction measurement using two point-Dixon: A comparison of two MRI systems
K. Dasai, Y. Ouchi, M. Nakagawa, K. Watanabe
Saiseikai Yokohamashi Tobu Hospital, Yokohama, Japan
Impact: This study demonstrated that different MRI systems and sequences have little impact on the accuracy of fat-fraction measurements. The versatile two-point Dixon has advantages in the initial search for fatty liver patients because it is not limited by MRI systems.
17:05 5300. A PILOT STUDY TO INVESTIGATE MORE SUSTAINABLE METHODS FOR PROVIDING ACCESS TO MRI IMAGES IN LOW- & MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES (LMICs)
I. Ohuma, C. Mokua, J. Thairu, K. Njeru, S. Farhuqason, P. Kung'u
AIC CURE Children's Hospital of Kenya., Nairobi, Kenya
Impact: This study finds that QR codes and glossy paper are cost-effective and reliable for image transmission and that there is a willingness to accept the aforementioned alternative media.
17:05 5301. Water T1 Values Derived from MR Spectroscopy: A Novel Biomarker for Liver Fibrosis Assessment
M. Suzuki, T. Hayashi, N. Kazutaka, H. Tanigawa, H. Kawata, S. Nagata, T. Tounan, T. Kawaguchi, S. Tanoue
Kurume university hospital, Kurume, Japan
Impact: Pre-water T1 values enable non-invasive liver fibrosis assessment using conventional MR systems without contrast agents or specialized elastography hardware. This accessible approach could revolutionize clinical practice by providing accurate fibrosis evaluation with minimal technical requirements.
17:05 5302. Advancing skills to Radiographers for Delivering Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Kampala, Uganda using Abbreviated Protocols
P. Maishi, K. Menacho, A. Mbonye, G. Erem, J. Kayima, S. Kraus, J. Dungu, A. Herrey, S. Mohiddin, N. Ntusi
University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa
Impact:
  • We successfully scanned 16 patients with an approximate scanning time for the abbreviated protocol of 20 minutes.
  • Ten radiographers were trained during live scanning by introducing innovative teaching techniques and preparing them for independent patient scanning and dealing with challenges.
17:05 5303. Could AI-driven acceleration techniques be one answer to the issue of environmental sustainability in MRI?
A. Borella, J. Warner
Monash Health, Melbourne, Australia
Impact:

The overall impact of AI-powered MRI optimisation is significant: reduced scan times, lower energy consumption, cutting carbon emissions, and improved operational efficiency. This contributes to healthcare sustainability, reduces costs, and enhances patient comfort, while fostering environmental stewardship.

17:05 5304. Scan With me (SWIM): Enhancing Dementia Imaging Through Training Of MRI Personnel in Low-and Middle-Income Countries.
C. Montalba, A. Harrison, M. Fernandez Garcia, F. Botwe, A. Nashirudeen Mumuni, O. Akinwale, J. Wairimu Thairu, S. Zurakat-Aderibigbe, S. Maharjan, A. Adewo, K. Mokoena, A. Alfaro, G. Flores, J. Mifatu, T. Lim, A. Zeraii, F. Abiodun, F. Dako, U. Anazodo
Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago, Chile
Impact:  A sustainable training approach was implemented to provide expertise to MRI radiographers, enabling them to train their peers in resource-limited settings. Training outcomes were assessed through evaluations, and the high-quality images produced by participants.
17:05 5305. Optimizing Brain Imaging Protocols: Advanced Acquisition Techniques for Radiotherapy with Immobilization Masks
N. delivert, V. le merlus, c. geran, n. douir
Gustave Roussy, thiais, France
Impact: The radiotherapy mask during brain MRI renders the head coil unusable. This work significantly improved image quality with a custom setup: a 4-channel Flex coil at the back and an 18-channel UltraFlex coil around the top of the patient’s head.
17:05 5306. Brain Volume Reduction in Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: A Quantitative MRI Study in Patients in Remission
J. T. Castro
UNICAMP (Universidade Estadual de Campinas), Campinas, Brazil
Impact: These findings suggest that TTP may cause lasting structural brain changes even after the acute phase, potentially contributing to chronic neurological deficits. This study highlights the importance of continuous monitoring of TTP patients in remission.
