Congratulations to Clara Bögerl, Dr. rer. biol. hum. Jannis Hanspach and co-authors on the recently published article "Analysis of the sample size used in clinical MRI studies"! This study analyzed 734 clinical MRI studies published in JMRI (2020–2023) and found that sample sizes varied widely, w...

Congratulations to Dominika Skwierawska, Maximilian Bachl and co-authors on the recently published article "Pros and Cons of High-Performance Gradient Enabled Short-TE Prostate DWI: A Prospective Study"! This study evaluated the impact of echo time (TE) on prostate diffusion-weighted MRI, finding...

Congratulations to Bianca Reithmeier and co-authors on the recently published article "Relevance of lesion size in navigator-triggered and free-breathing diffusion-weighted liver MRI"! This study investigated the effectiveness of navigator-triggered (TRIG) versus free-breathing (FB) diffusion-wei...

Congratulations to Mona Pistel and co-authors on the recently published article "Stability of Radiomic Features against Variations in Lesion Segmentations Computed on Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Maps of Breast Lesions"! Diffusion-weighted imaging combined with radiomics can help differentiate ...

Congratulations to Tamara Bäuchle, Christoph Stuprich and co-authors on the published paper ‘Influence of Magnetic Field Strength on Intravoxel Incoherent Motion Parameters in Diffusion MRI of the Calf’. The study investigated the dependence of the measured IVIM parameters in the human calf on ma...

Congratulations to Christoph Stuprich and colleagues on the recently published paper "Velocity-compensated intravoxel incoherent motion of the human calf muscle"! The aim of the study was to determine whether intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) better describes blood perfusion in muscles when pse...

At this year's spring conference of the German Physical Society (DPG) in Berlin, the Radiation and Medical Physics Association once again awarded a prize for the best presentations. Second place, worth €100, went to Mona Pistel from the qMRI lab (Laun). In her presentation, Mona focussed on how d...

Congratulations to Tobit Führes (and colleagues) on the recently published paper: „Impact of velocity- and acceleration-compensated encodings on signal dropout and black-blood state in diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance liver imaging at clinical TEs“! https://journals.plos.org/plosone/artic...

At the 25th annual meeting of the German Section of the ISMRM in Berlin, the Gorter Award was again awarded to young scientists for their outstanding scientific work in the field of magnetic resonance. Dr. Jannis Hanspach from the research group Laun won the third place, endowed with 250€. He ...

Congratulations to Tobit Führes! The paper „Feature-guided deep learning reduces signal loss and increases lesion CNR in diffusion-weighted imaging of the liver“ by Tobit Führes et al. was recently accepted for publication by Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik and is now available online. htt...
