    Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosed technology relates to free-breathing cine DENSE (displacement encoding with stimulated echoes) imaging. In some embodiments, self-gated free-breathing adaptive acquisition reduces free-breathing artifacts by minimizing the residual energy of the phase-cycled T1-relaxation signal, and the acquisition of the k-space data is adaptively repeated with the highest residual T1-echo energy. In some embodiments, phase-cycled spiral interleaves are identified at matched respiratory phases by minimizing the residual signal due to T1 relaxation after phase-cycling subtraction; image-based navigators (iNAVs) are reconstructed from matched phase-cycled interleaves that are comprised of the stimulated echo iNAVs (ste-iNAVs), wherein the ste-iNAVs are used for motion estimation and compensation of k-space data.

    Abstract: A computerized method of reconstructing acquired magnetic resonance image (MRI) data to produce a series of output images includes acquiring a multiband k-space data set from a plurality of multiband slices of spiral MRI data; simultaneously acquiring a single band k-space data set comprising respective single band spiral image slices that are each associated with a respective one of the multiband slices in the multiband k-space data set; using the single band k-space data set, for each individual multiband slice, calculating a respective calibration kernel to apply to the multi-band k-space data set for each individual multiband slice; separating each individual multiband slice from the multiband k space data set by phase demodulating the multi-band k-space data using multiband phase demodulation operators corresponding to the individual multiband slice and convolving phase demodulated multi-band k-space data with a selected convolution operator to form a gridded set of the multi-band k-space data corresponding to the individual multiband slice.

    Abstract: Some aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for three-dimensional spiral perfusion imaging. In one embodiment, a method for perfusion imaging of a subject includes acquiring perfusion imaging data associated with the heart of a subject. The acquiring includes applying an imaging pulse sequence with a three-dimensional stack-of-spirals trajectory. The method also includes reconstructing perfusion images from the acquired perfusion imaging data. The reconstructing includes parallel imaging and motion-guided compressed sensing. The method also includes determining, from the reconstructed perfusion images, absolute perfusion values based on time-intensity relationships to quantify myocardial blood flow of the heart of the subject, and generating a quantitative volumetric perfusion flow map based on the determined absolute perfusion values.

    Abstract: An exemplary method and system are disclosed that employ deep learning neural-network(s) trained with displacement-encoded imaging data (i.e., DENSE data) to estimate intramyocardial motion from cine MRI images retrieved with balanced steady state free precession sequences (bFSSP) and other cardiac medical imaging modalities, including standard cardiac computer tomography (CT) images, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, echocardiogram images, heart ultrasound images, among other medical imaging modalities described herein. The deep learning neural-network(s) can be trained using (i) contour motion data from displacement-encoded imaging magnitude data as inputs to the neural network and (ii) displacement maps derived from displacement-encoded imaging phase images for comparison to the outputs of the neural network for neural network adjustments during the training. The DENSE trained neural network can be used to calculate tissue displacement from bFSSP cine images.
