T1 ρ and T2 mapping for the determination of articular cartilage denaturalization with osteonecrosis of the femoral head: A prospective controlled trial
ConclusionBoth T1ρ and T2 mapping performed well in diagnosing the cartilage denaturalization in ARCO stage I ‐III ONFH patients. T1ρ mapping had a higher diagnostic sensitivity and specificity than T2 mapping.Level of Evidence: 2Technical Efficacy: Stage 2J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2018.

Quantitative imaging biomarkers alliance (QIBA) recommendations for improved precision of DWI and DCE ‐MRI derived biomarkers in multicenter oncology trials
Physiological properties of tumors can be measured both in vivo and noninvasively by diffusion ‐weighted imaging and dynamic contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. Although these techniques have been used for more than two decades to study tumor diffusion, perfusion, and/or permeability, the methods and studies on how to reduce measurement error and bias in the derived imaging metr ics is still lacking in the literature. This is of paramount importance because the objective is to translate these quantitative imaging biomarkers (QIBs) into clinical trials, and ultimately in clinical practice. Standardization of t...

Accelerated multi ‐snapshot free‐breathing mapping based on the dual refocusing echo acquisition mode technique (DREAM): An alternative to measure RF nonuniformity for cardiac MRI
BackgroundField inhomogeneities in MRI caused by interactions between the radiofrequency field and the patient anatomy can lead to artifacts and contrast variations, consequently degrading the overall image quality and thereby compromising diagnostic value of the images.PurposeTo develop an efficient free ‐breathing and motion‐robust mapping method that allows for the investigation of spatial homogeneity of the transmitted radiofrequency field in the myocardium at 3.0T. Three joint approaches are used to adapt the dual refocusing echo acquisition mode (DREAM) sequence for cardiac applications: ( 1) electrocardiograph t...
