Through the Magnifying Glass: The Pain and Neuroinflammation Imaging Lab
A close-up look at the Pain and Neuroinflammation Imaging Lab led by Marco Loggia, PhD.
Uncovering the Pathology of MS with Advanced, Multimodal Imaging
Caterina Mainero, MD, PhD, director of the Multiple Sclerosis Imaging Laboratory in the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, discusses the lab’s research into the mechanisms of the disease and new approaches to diagnosis and monitoring.
It’s Brain Awareness Week! Here are three Super-Cool Studies Involving Brain Imaging
In recognition of Brain Awareness Week (March 13-19) — a ‘global campaign to foster public enthusiasm and support for brain science’ — the Mass General Research Institute highlighted three brain imaging studies from Radiology researchers.
Can AI Detect Alzheimer’s Disease from Routine Brain Scans?
Center for Systems Biology researcher Matthew Leming, PhD and colleagues have reported a deep learning method for detection of Alzheimer’s disease based on routinely collected clinical brain images. The tool may help clinicians identify patients who would benefit from treatment.
Hemostatic Factors Have Potential as Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets in MS
The Martinos Center’s Caterina Mainero, MD, PhD and colleagues reviewed the interplay of fibrinogen and coagulation factors with neuroinflammation in multiple sclerosis. They conclude that basic knowledge of the coagulation pathways could be translated into new treatment approaches and novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.
Metabolomic Information Highly Useful for Predicting Future Prostate Cancer
A study by the Martinos Center’s Leo Cheng, PhD and colleagues suggests that metabolomic changes detected with an advanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy technique can differentiate between patients with benign prostate biopsies who will or will not receive a prostate cancer diagnosis over the following years.
How You Can Mend a Broken Heart: Emerging imaging technologies advance cardiovascular care
To celebrate Valentines Day, the Mass General Research Institute explored five recent studies from the Department of Radiology where researchers sought new ways to help reduce the incidence of a broken heart (and to ensure a healthy cardiovascular system).
Trends in Oncological Imaging During the COVID-19 Pandemic Through the Vaccination Era
Marc Succi, MD, a physician-investigator in the Department of Radiology and Director of the MESH Incubator at Massachusetts General Hospital, discusses a recent study, “Trends in oncological imaging during the COVID-19 pandemic through the vaccination era.”
Ciencia En Tu Idioma [Science in Your Language]: Efren Flores, MD
The Mass General Research Institute chats with Efren Flores, MD, a physician-scientist in the Mass General Department of Radiology, about the importance of having research information available in different languages to increase access to scientific information and reduce barriers.
AI Predicts 10-Year Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke from X-Ray Images
Michael Lu, MD, MPH, Vineet Raghu, PhD and colleagues have developed a deep learning model that can predict the 10-year risk of death from a heart attack or stroke using a single chest X-ray.
