Students in our MSBI program don't just learn imaging principles in a lecture hall; they work with tabletop MRI units, clinical scanners & wet-lab science. We sat down with program leaders Drs. Youngho Seo & Susan Noworolskito learn more: bit.ly/4ci9tyD

For 15(!) years I’ve been teaching introductory #MRI to grad students, and struggled to find a textbook for a wide variety of backgrounds. I'm happy to share an online textbook I created, fully open source (including code for generating figures and plots shown): larsonlab.github.io/MRI-educatio...

If you like this demo, you will love the great demos by @pezlarson.bsky.social that can be found here: larsonlab.github.io/MRI-educatio... (Complete with python code to generate them!)

Nice demo by Mark Lescroart @neuromdl.bsky.social on EPI imaging of a single #fMRI slice. Great for teaching! :) vimeo.com/143701608?fl...

On a positive note - Happy Pythagorean Triple Square Day :) #math #MATH www.npr.org/2025/09/16/n...

On 9/16/25, celebrate a date of mathematical beauty

Pythagorean Triple Square Day, as one man affectionately calls 9/16/25, is a day like no other this century.

This is a great analysis, especially I like the assessment of different variables on performance in detecting aggressive prostate cancer from MRI important for ML Researchers to see work like this where real world AUCs ~0.7, showing often fundamental challenges in biomedical problems

Advances in 2D materials are enabling atomic-scale resolution in NMR spectroscopy, offering new possibilities for quantum sensing, computing, and communications. doi.org/g9zm6v

MRI technology inspires quantum advancement with 2D materials

The same technology behind MRI images of injury or disease also powers nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which is used to analyze biological molecules for research on diseases and therapeutics.

Nice to see my @ucsfimaging.bsky.social colleague highlighted! Prof. Vu has been innovating higher resolution brain #MRI and getting this technology into the hands of VA doctors

Northern California Institute for Research and Education, Inc.@ncire.org · last yr.

This VA Research Week, May 13th-16th, NCIRE celebrates its contribution to 100 Years of VA Research. NCIRE is proud to support the research of Dr. An Vu at the San Francisco VA Health Care System! Learn more: www.ncire.org/about-ncire #VAResearch100

Open source #MRI is thriving at #ISMRM2025 - even the standing room was full at educational session today! 🎉

New layer-fMRI paper showing 3D-EPI with variable sampling density at 0.56mm resolution. Acquired at the Feinbergatron scanner. By Park et al., doi.org/10.1002/mrm....

Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women Unreal www.science.org/content/arti...

NIH cancels its first and largest study centered on women

The Women’s Health Initiative has produced numerous influential findings

Happy to walk anyone through this. Our grants are proposed work. We often budget for things like salaries, student tuition, and equipment and consumables (in my field). We work on tight margins - we're often asked to "trim" or modify budgets because program officers try to spread the money.

Maya Sen@mayasen.bsky.social · last yr.

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

RT @songihanlab The official flier for the new GRC on Magnetic Resonance and Quantum Information Science, June 14-19, 2026, Southern New Hampshire University, MA. Details TBA over time, looking for support from vendors and institutions www.grc.org/magnetic-res... #NMRevents #NMRchat #NMR 🧲

Two new papers on lung structure and ventilation #MRI with 3D UTE methods, inc patient results My impressions - UTE methods (indirect) not as good as HP Xe (direct, but requires inhaled and hyperpolarized gas) - sequences maturing, processing is critical - great potential for lung dz evaluation
