MONTREAL - MRI is known for a lot of things, but portability isn't one of them. That could change if work on portable MRI scanners comes to fruition. Larry Wald, PhD, of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School discusses his group's work in this video from the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) conference.

Figure: Improved image quality with a generative adversarial network architecture for low- to high-field-strength image translation, called LowGAN. (A–C) Top: High-field-strength (3-T) and low-field-strength (64-mT) images and LowGAN outputs for a single participant across (A) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), (B) T1-weighted (T1w), and (C) T2-weighted (T2w) contrasts. Bottom: Graphs demonstrate the structural similarity index (SSIM), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), normalized cross-correlation (NCC), and feature similarity index (FSIM) between high field strength and low field strength (64-mT) and high field strength and LowGAN outputs. a.u. = arbitrary units.****p ≤ 0.0001.

(A) Ultrafast MR image obtained 14 seconds after aortic enhancement shows 0.4-cm focus (arrow) in the left breast at 3-o’clock position, 4.5 cm from index cancer (not shown). (B) Ultrafast MR image obtained 23 seconds after aortic enhancement shows wash-in (arrow) of background parenchymal enhancement (BPE). (C) and (D) On first standard postcontrast subtraction MR images, focus (arrow, C) and BPE (arrow, D) are indistinguishable. MRI-guided biopsy of focus yielded grade 2 invasive lobular carcinoma.
