Collaborative Reconstruction of PROPELLER-EPI Data Using POCSMUSE (CORPUSE) for High-Fidelity Diffusion MRI.
Article in Magnetic resonance in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo develop a reconstruction framework for DW-PROPELLER-EPI that improves image quality and SNR efficiency under per-blade acceleration while minimizing EPI-related artifacts, enabling high-resolution diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) with fewer blades.
methodsWe propose CORPUSE, a joint reconstruction framework adapted from POCSMUSE and tailored for multiblade DW-PROPELLER-EPI. The method integrates distortion-correction operators into a joint-blade reconstruction model and exploits the inherent redundancy of multiblade sampling. Leveraging self-extracted composite 2D phase errors and blade-specific field maps as physics-based constraints, CORPUSE improves reconstruction performance. By using wider blades with higher per-blade acceleration, the framework increases scan efficiency while preserving image quality and geometric fidelity. The framework was evaluated in healthy volunteers on a 1.5T MRI scanner across varying numbers of blades and with two PROPELLER-EPI trajectories: long-axis (LAP) and short-axis (SAP), under different per-blade accelerations and scan conditions.
resultsIn vivo experiments showed that CORPUSE improved image sharpness, geometric fidelity, and overall reconstruction quality compared with conventional PROPELLER-EPI reconstruction. These improvements enabled higher per-blade acceleration and wider blades without compromising image quality, thereby supporting more flexible and efficient reconstruction for LAP and SAP trajectory. Additionally, CORPUSE demonstrated greater motion resilience than multishot EPI based on multiplexed sensitivity encoding (MUSE), preserving structural detail even under subtle motion conditions.
conclusionThe CORPUSE framework enables high-resolution, high-quality DTI with fewer blades, improving the practicality of DW-PROPELLER-EPI. By maintaining SNR and geometric accuracy under high per-blade acceleration, it offers a robust and efficient alternative to other multishot diffusion imaging approaches.
