In compressed sensing magnetic resonance imaging (CS-MRI), undersampling of k-space is performed to achieve faster imaging. For this process, it is important to acquire data randomly, and an optimal random undersampling pattern is required. However, random undersampling is difficult in two-dimensional (2D) Cartesian sampling. In this study, the effect of random undersampling patterns on image reconstruction was clarified using phantom and in vivo MRI, and a sampling pattern relevant for 2D Cartesian sampling in CS-MRI is suggested. The precision of image restoration was estimated with various acceleration factors and extents for the fully sampled central region of k-space. The root-mean-square error, structural similarity index, and modulation transfer function were measured, and visual assessments were also performed. The undersampling pattern was shown to influence the precision of image restoration, and an optimal undersampling pattern should be used to improve image quality; therefore, we suggest that the ideal undersampling pattern in CS-MRI for 2D Cartesian sampling is one with a high extent for the fully sampled central region of k-space.

The early symptoms of hepatocellular carcinoma patients are often subtle and easily overlooked. By the time patients exhibit noticeable symptoms, the disease has typically progressed to middle or late stages, missing optimal treatment opportunities. Therefore, discovering biomarkers is essential for elucidating their functions for the early diagnosis and prevention.

The origin of life on Earth remains one of the most perplexing challenges in biochemistry. While numerous bottom-up experiments under prebiotic conditions have provided valuable insights into the spontaneous chemical genesis of life, there remains a significant gap in the theoretical understanding of the complex reaction processes involved. In this study, we propose a novel approach using a roto-translationally invariant potential (RTIP) formulated with pristine Cartesian coordinates to facilitate the simulation of chemical reactions.

Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) is an emerging Magnetic Resonance technique providing valuable insight into the dynamics of cellular glucose (Glc) metabolism of the human brain in vivo using deuterium-labeled (H) glucose as non-invasive tracer. Reliable concentration estimation of H-Glc and downstream synthesized neurotransmitters glutamate + glutamine (Glx) requires accurate knowledge of relaxation times, but so far tissue-specific T and T relaxation times (e.g.

During the data collection of x-ray diffraction experiments with various detectors, background signals are often unavoidable along with the sample signal. Addressing the background during post-data analysis is not a straightforward task. In this work, we introduced an algorithm specifically designed to handle centrally symmetric two-dimensional x-ray diffraction data and processed the data using the Python programming language.

A novel method for fast and high-resolution metabolic imaging, called ECcentric Circle ENcoding TRajectorIes for Compressed sensing (ECCENTRIC), has been developed at 7 Tesla MRI. ECCENTRIC is a non-Cartesian spatial-spectral encoding method designed to accelerate magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) with high signal-to-noise at ultra-high field. The approach provides flexible and random sampling of the Fourier space without temporal interleaving to improve spatial response function and spectral quality.
