Imaging Titanium and Carbon Fiber Spinal Implants at 0.55T, 1.5T, and 3T: A Phantom Experiment by Xin Miao (Siemens Healthineers, Boston, MA, USA), et al.
The authors investigated the imaging of titanium vs. Carbon/PEEK pedicle screws at three different field strengths, with and without advanced metal artifact reduction techniques (WARP, SEMAC) - in a realistic scenario using a ham-bone phantom.
Signal-Based Motion Management in Abdominal #MRI for #Radiotherapy Planning by Terumasa Takemaru, et al. (Siemens Healthineers)
This article provides an overview of free-breathing MR signal-based motion navigation strategies.
It explains how to use purely MR signal-based motion management techniques for liver MRI using 4D MRI, 2D prospective acquisition correction (PACE) with liver dome scout, and 1D PACE.

Biologically Targeted Radiation Therapy (BiRT): From Concept to Clinical Translation by
Annette Haworth, et al. (University of Sydney, Australia)
Cancers are well known for biological heterogeneity.
BiRT uses knowledge of spatially heterogenous biological characteristics of tumors and their predicted response to treatment to prescribe a heterogeneous dose through the tumor volume.
