The development of MRI systems operating at or above 7 T has provided researchers with a
new window into the human body, yielding improved imaging speed, resolution and signal‐…

Purpose An extended phase graph framework (EPG‐X) for modeling systems with
exchange or magnetization transfer (MT) is proposed. Theory EPG‐X models coupled two‐…

Brain images acquired at 3T often display central brightening with spatially varying tissue
contrast, caused by inhomogeneity in the transmit radiofrequency fields used for excitation. …

Purpose Development of a MRI acquisition and reconstruction strategy to depict fetal cardiac
anatomy in the presence of maternal and fetal motion. Methods The proposed strategy …

Prenatal detection of congenital heart disease facilitates the opportunity for potentially life-saving
care immediately after the baby is born. Echocardiography is routinely used for …

Purpose This study demonstrates magnetization transfer (MT) effects directly affect relaxometry
measurements and develops a framework that allows single‐pool models to be valid in 2…

Purpose Inhomogeneous magnetization transfer (ihMT) is an emerging form of MRI contrast
that may offer high specificity for myelinated tissue. Existing ihMT and pulsed MT sequences …

Multicomponent driven equilibrium steady-state observation of T 1 and T 2 (mcDESPOT)
aims to quantify the Myelin Water Fraction (MWF) using a two-pool microstructural model. The …

Purpose This study aims to increase the precision of single‐compartment DESPOT relaxometry
by two means: (i) a joint system relaxometry (JSR) approach that estimates parameters …

Object At high-field strengths (≥3T) inhomogeneity of the radio frequency (RF) field and RF
power deposition become increasingly problematic. Parallel Transmission (PTx)—the use of …
