interpreting the results. In conclusion, this workflow including repeated MRI measurements could help detect changes in CBF between different measurement days and complement other conventional monitoring techniques in the NICU.

territory atlas. The test-retest data showed small variations (4.4 ml/min/100g between sessions), and the longitudinal measurement resulted in low CBF variability over 12 days. Despite the greater complexity of clinical data, the quantification and chosen visualization tools proved helpful in

To ensure accurate day-to-day comparisons between the repeated measurements, the selection of processing and analysis methods aimed to obtain CBF maps in absolute units of ml/min/100g. These CBF maps were quantified using both the FMRIB Software Library and an openly available flow

the workflow was implemented and tested using acquired test-retest data and longitudinal data from two healthy participants. Subsequently, the workflow was tested in clinical practice on an intubated and ventilated patient monitored in the NICU after suffering a subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Therefore, this work aims to develop and implement a methodological workflow for the acquisition, analysis, absolute quantification, and visualization of longitudinal arterial spin labeling MRI measurements acquired in the clinical NICU setting. At this initial stage,

enabling longitudinal CBF measurements while eliminating medical transportation risks. Arterial spin labeling is a subtraction-based MRI technique that can measure CBF globally in the brain without the use of contrast agents, and thus is suitable for repeated measurements over short time periods.

Including absolute MRI measurements of CBF in the NICU monitoring protocol could add valuable information and potentially improve patient outcomes. This is particularly feasible at Linköping University Hospital, which uniquely has an MRI scanner located in the NICU,

An important point is that common metrics for evaluating quality and diversity of synthetic images do not consider memorization, and memorization therefore needs to be tested separately.

demonstrated that diffusion models are more likely to memorize the training images, compared to generative adversarial networks (GANs). Researchers who want to share synthetic medical images should therefore be careful before doing so.
