Fast myocardial T1 mapping using shortened inversion recovery based schemes.
Myocardial T1 mapping shows promise for assessment of cardiomyopathies. Most myocardial T1 mapping techniques, such as modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI), generate one T1 map per breath-held acquisition (9-17 heartbeats), which prolongs multislice protocols and may be unsuitable for patients with breath-holding difficulties. ⋯ 1 Technical Efficacy Stage: 3 J.

T2 -based MRI Delta-radiomics improve response prediction in soft-tissue sarcomas treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Standard of care for patients with high-grade soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) are being redefined since neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has demonstrated a positive effect on patients' outcome. Yet response evaluation in clinical trials still relies on RECIST criteria. ⋯ 3 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;50:497-510.
