All imaging data were obtained with a 3.0 T scanner (MR750, GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI, United States) equipped with a 32-channel head coil. The participants’ heads were fastened by cushions between both sides of their head and coil to minimize the head movements. During the scanning, the participants were required to relax their minds and not think about anything, keeping awake with their eyes closed. Each participant received one functional scan. The rs-fMRI data were measured with an echo-planar imaging sequence (TR/TE = 2,000/30 ms, flip angle = 90°, FOV = 220 mm × 220 mm, 43 axial slices, acquisition matrix = 64 × 64, voxel size = 3.4 mm × 3.4 mm × 3.2 mm, interslice space = 0 mm). Structural imaging data were acquired with a 3D T1-weighted fast spoiled gradient-recalled echo sequence (TR/TE = 8.16/3.18 ms, inversion time = 450 ms, flip angle = 8°, FOV = 256 mm × 256 mm, acquisition matrix = 256 × 256, spatial resolution = 1 mm × 1 mm × 1 mm, interslice space = 0 mm).

Brain imaging data will be collected using the 3T magnetic resonance imaging scanner (GE Healthcare MR750) and include longitudinal relaxation time (T1) and transverse relaxation time relaxometry using steady-state sequences (multicomponent Driven Equilibrium Single Pulse Observation of T1 and transverse relaxation time) [86 (link),87 (link)]. Structural imaging of anatomical detail for morphometric analyses will be performed using a custom magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition gradient echo sequence, which removes the intensity variations from inhomogeneities in the coil sensitivities. Functional blood-oxygen-level-dependent images may be recorded using a reverse spiral sequence (repetition time=1000 ms, time to echo=32 ms, flip angle=60°, 56 sagittal slices, field-of-view=208 mm, slice thickness=2.5 mm, and voxel size=2.5×2.5×2.5 mm). Each sequence will take 1 to 10 minutes, and the total scan time will be 60 minutes.

MRI was performed within 1‒2 days before surgery. All patients underwent non-contrast scans using a 3.0-Tesla MRI scanner (MR750, GE Healthcare, Waukesha, WI, USA) with an eight-channel phased-array body coil centred over the liver. The patients were instructed to fast for 6 h before undergoing scanning with feet first in the supine position. A six-echo spoiled gradient-recalled-echo magnitude-based fat quantification technique was used. The parameters were as follows: repetition time, 7.3 ms; echo time, six different echoes ranging from 1.0 to 5.0 ms to permit correction for R2* signal decay and chemical-shift-based separation of fat and water signals; matrix, 160 × 160; field-of-vision, 40 cm; slice-section thickness, 8 mm; number of excitations, 0.5; flip angle, low (4°) to minimise T1 bias [34 (link)]; bandwidth, 111.11; and acquisition time, 21 s. Respiratory bellows were applied to monitor breathing, and the patients were instructed to hold their breath during image acquisition. The sequences were planned such that the whole liver was covered.

All imaging studies were performed on a whole-body 3 T MRI scanner (MR750, GE Healthcare, Waukesha, WI, USA), with multi-nuclear excite and 32-channel receive capability.
For the phantom study, proton imaging was performed using the body coil for excitation and a 4-channel surface coil for reception. Carbon imaging was performed using a clamshell volume transmitter25 (link) and a 16-channel bilateral receive array (Rapid Biomedical, Rimpar, Germany). The anterior and posterior arrays, each housing 8 coil elements with a 4 × 2 layout, were placed above and below the phantom for whole volume coverage (Figure 2f).
An abdominal-sized phantom containing natural abundance ethylene glycol and comprised of multiple signal voids was imaged by a 1H T2-weighted sequence and a 13C spectroscopy sequence. The 13C data were acquired from a 10 cm axial slice with an in-plane field-of-view (FOV) of 36 × 32 cm2 (RL × AP) and in-plane resolution of 2.0 × 2.0 cm2. An echo-planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) readout gradient was applied to encode one spatial (RL) dimension and the spectral dimension, with a readout bandwidth of 545 Hz and a spectral resolution of 10 Hz. 16 phase encodes were applied in the AP direction, and each was excited by a constant 90° sinc pulse with TR/TE = 312/3.5 ms. A total of 5 signal averages were acquired, resulting in a 25-second scan time.

Longitudinal fMRI Evaluation of Cortical Plasticity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The fMRI scan was carried out with a 3.0T scanner (MR750, GE Healthcare, USA). The participants underwent a protocol including one task-dependent block-design BOLD sequence and a FSPGR 3D-T1 sequence. The first fMRI scan was performed before the surgery, and the second one was performed 6 months after surgery, which allowed enough time for cortical plasticity and avoided the interference of surgical incision-related pain. Considering subjects' individual arrangement, a 2-week variation was allowed.
Foam padding was utilized to reduce head motion. For structural 3D-T1 imaging, we used the FSPGR sequence as follows: matrix size = 256 × 256, FOV = 256 × 256 mm, TR/TE = 8100/3.1 ms, FA = 8°, slice thickness = 1 mm, gap = 0 (isotropic voxel size = 1 × 1 × 1 mm), and TI (prepare time) = 450 milliseconds. For BOLD sequences, the parameters were as follows: sequence = GRE-EPI, interleaved scanning order, slice number = 43, matrix size = 64 × 64, FOV = 220∗220 mm, TR = 3000 ms, FA = 90°, slice thickness = 3.2 mm, gap = 0 (voxel size 3.4 × 3.4 × 3.2 mm3), and number of acquisitions = 120.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hemorrhage was artificially induced in a pig model by direct intracoronary injection of collagenase (col) [5]. Animals (N = 14) were divided into three groups and subjected to an LAD occlusion followed by reperfusion: Group 1 (N = 4) 45 min+saline (sal); Group 2 (N = 5): 8 min+col; and Group 3 (N = 5): 45 min+col. Imaging was serially performed on a 3T MRI scanner (MR 750, GE Healthcare) at baseline (healthy) and up to week 4 post-intervention. Pre- and post-contrast T1 values were quantified using a MOLLI sequence. Partition coefficient (λ) was estimated from the relation:(1/T1myo,post-1/T1myo,pre)/(1/T1blood,post-1/T1blood,pre). T2 mapping was performed using a T2-prepared spiral sequence. Hemorrhage was assessed from T2* maps obtained using a multi-echo gradient-echo acquisition. Infarcted and remote myocardial segments were evaluated based on LGE images.
