Purpose: The combination of fully balanced SSFP sequences with iterative golden angle radial sparse parallel (iGRASP) MRI leads to strong image artifacts due to eddy currents caused by the large angular increment of the golden angle ordering. The purpose of this work is to enable the combination of iterative golden angle radial sparse parallel MRI with balanced SSFP using the recently presented tiny golden angles.
Methods: The tiny golden angle trajectories are analyzed for their incoherence properties in relation to sparse imaging using the time-resolved point-spread functions. Tiny golden angle radial sparse parallel (tyGRASP) MRI is introduced and evaluated with applications in cardiac imaging and dynamic imaging of the temporomandibular joint. The results are analyzed in detail for 3 T and verified for 1.5 T.
Results: The incoherence properties of the tiny golden angle trajectory are comparable to the incoherence properties of the golden angle trajectory and are well suited for sparse MRI reconstruction. The proposed tiny golden angle radial sparse parallel MRI method strongly reduces eddy current related artifacts for both applications.
Conclusion: This work enables sparse, golden-ratio-based imaging with balanced SSFP sequences. Magn Reson Med 75:2372-2378, 2016. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI is an important imaging tool for evaluating tumor vascularity that can lead to improved characterization of tumor extent and heterogeneity, and for early assessment of treatment response. However, clinical adoption of quantitative DCE-MRI remains limited due to challenges in acquisition and quantification performance, and lack of automated tools. This study presents an end-to-end deep learning pipeline that exploits a novel deep reconstruction network called DCE-Movienet with a previously developed deep quantification network called DCE-Qnet for fast and quantitative DCE-MRI.

We present a theory that explains the resonance effect of the vibrational strong coupling (VSC) modified reaction rate constant at the normal incidence of a Fabry-Pérot (FP) cavity. This analytic theory is based on a mechanistic hypothesis that cavity modes promote the transition from the ground state to the vibrational excited state of the reactant, which is the rate-limiting step of the reaction. This mechanism for a single molecule coupled to a single-mode cavity has been confirmed by numerically exact simulations in our recent work in [J.

Background: Cardiac cine MRI is the gold standard for cardiac functional assessment, but the inherently slow acquisition process creates the necessity of reconstruction approaches for accelerated undersampled acquisitions. Several regularization approaches that exploit spatial-temporal redundancy have been proposed to reconstruct undersampled cardiac cine MRI. More recently, methods based on supervised deep learning have been also proposed to further accelerate acquisition and reconstruction.

Semiconductors with large energetic separation Δ of energy sub-bands with distinct spin expectation values (spin textures) represent a key target to enable control over spin transport and spin-optoelectronic properties. While the paradigmatic case of symmetry-dictated Rashba spin splitting and associated spin textures remains the most explored pathway toward designing future spin-transport-based quantum information technologies, controlling spin physics beyond the Rashba paradigm by accessing strategically targeted crystalline symmetries holds significant promise. In this paper, we show how breaking the traditional paradigm of octahedron-rotation based structure distortions in 2D organic-inorganic perovskites (2D-OIPs) can facilitate exceptionally large spin splittings (Δ > 400 meV) and spin textures with extremely short spin helix lengths ( ∼ 5 nm).

Background And Objectives: Vestibular schwannomas demonstrate different responses after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), commonly including a transient loss of internal enhancement on postcontrast T1-weighted MRI thought to be due to an early reduction in tumor vascularity. We used dynamic contrast-enhanced based golden-angle radial sparse parallel (GRASP) MRI to characterize the vascular permeability changes underlying this phenomenon, with correlations to long-term tumor regression.
Methods: Consecutive patients with vestibular schwannoma who underwent SRS between 2017 and 2019, had a transient loss of enhancement after SRS, and had long-term longitudinal GRASP studies (6, 18, and 30 months) were included in this retrospective cohort analysis (n = 19).
