Background The 18F‐AV‐1451 radioligand enables in‐vivo identification of tau neurofibrillary tangles that are considered as biomarkers of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer Disease (AD). However, off‐target radioligand binding is also observed in basal ganglia, known as an iron‐rich region. Hence, it is important to distinguish between radioligand‐iden...

Article
Purpose: To introduce a Deep-Learning-Based Accelerated and Noise-Suppressed Estimation (DANSE) method for reconstructing quantitative maps of biological tissue cellular-specific, R2t*, and hemodynamic-specific, R2', metrics of quantitative Gradient-Recalled-Echo (qGRE) MRI. Methods: DANSE method adapts supervised learning paradigm to train a co...
Preprint
Quantitative MRI (qMRI) refers to a class of MRI methods for quantifying the spatial distribution of biological tissue parameters. Traditional qMRI methods usually deal separately with artifacts arising from accelerated data acquisition, involuntary physical motion, and magnetic-field inhomogeneities, leading to suboptimal end-to-end performance. T...

Purpose To introduce two novel learning‐based motion artifact removal networks (LEARN) for the estimation of quantitative motion‐ and B0‐inhomogeneity‐corrected R2∗ maps from motion‐corrupted multi‐Gradient‐Recalled Echo (mGRE) MRI data.

Article
Full-text available
Background: Currently, brain tissue atrophy serves as an in vivo MRI biomarker of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, postmortem histopathological studies show that neuronal loss in AD exceeds volumetric loss of tissue and that loss of memory in AD begins when neurons and synapses are lost. Therefore, in vivo detection of neuro...

Background Currently, brain tissue atrophy serves as in vivo structural MRI biomarker of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer Disease (AD). However, postmortem histopathological studies show that neuronal loss in AD exceeds volumetric loss of tissue and that AD‐related memory loss begins when neurons are lost. Hence, in vivo detection of neurodegeneratio...

The goal of this study was to establish the feasibility of integrating focused ultrasound (FUS)-mediated delivery of 64Cu-integrated gold nanoclusters (64Cu-AuNCs) to the pons for in vivo quantification of the nanocluster brain uptake using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. FUS was targeted at the pons for the blood-brain barrier (BBB) di...

Purpose: Since mild hyperthermia therapy (MHT) requires maintaining the temperature within a narrow window (e.g. 40–43 °C) for an extended duration (up to 1 h), accurate and precise temperature measurements are essential for ensuring safe and effective treatment. This study evaluated the precision and accuracy of MR thermometry in healthy volunteer...

Purpose High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that can thermally ablate tumors. Boiling histotripsy (BH) is a HIFU approach that can emulsify tissue in a few milliseconds. Lesion volume and temperature effects for different BH sonication parameters are currently not well characterized. In this work, lesion...
