HighLine: High Image Quality for Lines in MRI

Abstract

HighLine is a project funded by the Helmholtz Imaging Platform that was active from Apr. 2023 to Mar. 2025. In the project the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and Forschungszentrum Jülich jointly advanced MR root imaging in the environmental domain and MRA for medical purposes. The goal addressed was to improve image acquisition, reconstruction, and processing methods for increased signal-to-noise ratio and super-resolution. All project goals have been reached in time and in budget. The main findings are novel super-resolution and denoising algorithms and MR angiography imaging sequences. All findings have been published and are briefly described below.
