Deep learning (DL) has driven innovation in the field of computational imaging. One its bottlenecks is unavailable or insufficient training data. This article reviews an emerging paradigm, imaging physics-based data synthesis (IPADS), that can provide huge biomedical magnetic resonance (MR) without with few real Following physical law MR, IPADS generates signals from differential equations analytical solution models, making more scalable and explainable better protecting privacy.

Reducing the acquisition time is important for clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Compressed sensing has recently emerged as a theoretical foundation reconstruction of images from undersampled k-space measurements, assuming those are sparse in certain transform domain. However, most real-world signals compressible rather than exactly sparse. For example, commonly used two-dimensional wavelet compressed MRI (CS-MRI) does not sparsely represent curves and edges. In this article, we...
Ferroptosis has been realized in anticancer drug–induced acute cardiac/kidney injuries (ACI/AKI); however, molecular imaging approach to detect ferroptosis ACI/AKI is a challenge. We report an artemisinin-based probe (Art-Gd) for contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance of (feMRI) by exploiting the redox-active Fe(II) as vivid chemical target. In vivo, Art-Gd showed great feasibility early diagnosis ACI/AKI, which was at least 24 and 48 hours earlier than standard clinical assays assessing ACI...

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) offers reliable biomarkers in clinic. Nevertheless, most qMRI methods are time-consuming and sensitive to motion. Single-shot multiple overlapping-echo detachment (MOLED) can deliver robust T2 mapping about 100 ms with high motion tolerance. However, its spatial resolution is relatively low due the limitations of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) echo-train length. At mean time, number echoes different evolution times collected usually limited, which...
Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) is indispensable in MRI-based head-and-neck assessments, but its quantitative counterpart remains clinically absent due to the influence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics and lengthy acquisition time spent on a series weighting-increasing images. This work implements validates fast fluid-attenuated T2 (FLA-T2) mapping via inversion-recovery-prepared multiple overlapping-echo detachment imaging (IR-MOLED). The clinical value prospectively...
