Echo-planar imaging (EPI), which is the main workhorse of functional MRI, suffers from field inhomogeneity-induced geometric distortions. The amount of distortion is proportional to the readout duration, which restricts the maximum achievable spatial resolution. The spatially varying nature of the decay makes it challenging for EPI schemes with a single echo time to obtain good sensitivity to functional activations in different brain regions. Despite the use of parallel MRI and multislice acceleration, the number of different echo times that can be acquired in a reasonable TR is limited. The main focus of this work is to introduce a rosette-based acquisition scheme and a structured low-rank reconstruction algorithm to overcome the above challenges. The proposed scheme exploits the exponential structure of the time series to recover distortion-free images from several echoes simultaneously.

Purpose: To develop an improved post-processing pipeline for noise-robust accelerated phase-cycled Cartesian Single (SQ) and Triple Quantum (TQ) sodium (Na) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of in vivo human brain at 7 T.

Theory And Methods: Our pipeline aims to tackle the challenges of Na Multi-Quantum Coherences (MQC) MRI including low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and time-consuming Radiofrequency (RF) phase-cycling. Our method combines low-rank k-space denoising for SNR enhancement with Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) to robustly separate SQ and TQ signal components.

Background: Photon-counting computed tomography (CT) is an advanced imaging technique that enables multi-energy imaging from a single scan. However, the limited photon count assigned to narrow energy bins leads to increased quantum noise in the reconstructed spectral images. To address this issue, leveraging the prior information in the spectral images is essential.

Hybrid functionals that incorporate exact Hartree-Fock exchange (HFX) into density functional theory (DFT) are crucial for accurately predicting the electronic structures of extended systems in condensed-matter physics and materials science. Although the exact exchange contributes only a small fraction of the total energy, HFX calculations in hybrid functionals demand significant computational resources. Here, we introduce dual-grid and mixed-precision techniques, based on two low-rank approximations, adaptively compressed exchange (ACE) and interpolative separable density fitting (ISDF) methods, to significantly improve the computational efficiency of plane-wave hybrid functional calculations in the software package PWDFT (plane wave density functional theory).

Cardiac Cine Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides an accurate assessment of heart morphology and function in clinical practice. However, MRI requires long acquisition times, with recent deep learning-based methods showing great promise to accelerate imaging and enhance reconstruction quality. Existing networks exhibit some common limitations that constrain further acceleration possibilities, including single-domain learning, reliance on a single regularization term, and equal feature contribution.
