Ultrasound-guided cryoablation offers a range of advantages over conventional approaches to treating breast cancer. In October 2023, Massachusetts General Hospital successfully introduced the technique into its clinical practice.
Part of the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) is its seeming ability to produce objective, unbiased results. However, AI is not immune from the potential for bias. This Q&A explores how and where bias can enter the picture in science and healthcare and what can be done about it.
The Martinos Center’s Bruce Fischl and colleagues report a comprehensive cellular atlas of Broca’s area. Ultimately, the methods developed for the study could help create 3D models of an entire human brain.
The Martinos Center’s Anastasia Yendiki, PhD, is the lead PI of the new Center for Large-scale Imaging of Neural Circuits (LINC), which will map the highways & byways of the brain at unprecedented scales.
An emerging technique, radiofrequency ablation of the basivertebral nerve, offers new hope to patients who experience a specific type of chronic low back pain.
Developed by Gordon Harris, PhD, and colleagues, the open-source, extensible framework is helping meet the evolving needs of radiologists and researchers in the imaging arena.
By the spring of 1896, Boston was getting a little giddy about the implications of the new technology.
The work was recently reported by researchers with the Center for Ultrasound Research & Translation (CURT).
The finding, by the department’s Michael T. Lu, MD, MPH, and colleagues, was reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Martinos Center director Bruce Rosen describes several cutting-edge technologies that will advance research both in the center and elsewhere in the coming years.
