Estimating Tumor Boundaries in Cancer Surgery With Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, with an estimated 1,762,450 new cases diagnosed and 606,880 deaths in 2019 alone. While important advances have been made in the development of treatments for cancer, including surgery, a number of challenges remain. Not least: sur...

Dr. Sakadzic obtained his Ph.D. with Dr. Lihong Wang at Texas A&M University and completed his postdoctoral training with Dr. David Boas at the Massachusetts General Hospital. His group is developing state-of-the-art optical microscopy imaging technologies and utilizing them to better understand ...
MEG Method May Hold the Secret to Baldness
A variety of factors can stop hair from forming and growing properly, leading to hair diseases and baldness. A new method developed recently by investigators at the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging examines the activity of hair follicles and could be useful for testing the effects of di...
Acupuncture Yields Improved Outcomes in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Though the practice of acupuncture predates current understanding of physiology by several millennia, it often provides measureable improvements in health outcomes, particularly in the area of chronic pain. Now, in a study reported in the journal Brain, a team of investigators based at the Athino...
Matti Hämäläinen Inducted into Medical and Biological Engineering Elite
The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) has announced the induction of the MGH Martinos Center's Matti Hämäläinen to its College of Fellows. Election to the AIMBE College of Fellows is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to a medical and biologica...
Deep Learning Offers Quantitative Means of Monitoring Disease Progression in Retinopathy of Prematurity
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder affecting roughly two-thirds of premature infants weighing less than 250 g at birth and one of the leading causes of childhood blindness worldwide. Historically, clinical diagnosis of ROP has been subjective, resulting in considerable variabilit...
Mesoscale Brain Mapping: Bridging Scales and Modalities in Neuroimaging
Recent advances both in the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and elsewhere are driving the convergence of microscopic- and macroscopic-scale study of the brain for human translational neuroscience, by developing and applying tools to study the spatial distribution and temporal orchestra...
Uncovering ‘Covert Consciousness’ in Brain Injury Patients
In a paper published in the journal Brain last month Brian Edlow and colleagues reported a study in which they used the imaging techniques functional MRI and EEG to detect ‘covert consciousness’ in the intensive care unit. We checked in with Edlow, associate director of the Center for Neurotechno...
