MRI Clues Could Help Predict Prostate Cancer’s Return After Radiation
MRI scans taken before prostate cancer treatment may already contain clues about which patients are most at risk for the disease returning after radiation. In a new study, Onofrio A Catalano and colleagues analyzed pretreatment prostate MRIs and found that certain features — espec...
A New Optical Imaging Tool to Visualize Disease Through ‘Multiplexing’
A team of investigators at the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging has developed a tool that will allow researchers to measure multiple biological components or processes at the same time, opening up a host of applications, especially related to the study of disease. They describe the tool...

A Faster, Clearer Way to See Brain Activity with MEG
Understanding how different parts of the brain communicate requires precise maps of neural activity. In a new study, Tommi Raij and colleagues improved the way scientists interpret data from magnetoencephalography, or MEG — a technology that records the brain’s magnetic fields in real time. Thei...
Automated Deep Learning Accurately Assesses Muscle and Fat Tissue on Routine Chest CT
The Center's Christopher Bridge and colleagues have created a fully automated deep learning system to quantify and characterize muscle and adipose tissue on CT scans.
Generating PET Images — Without the Radiation
PET scans can reveal inflammation in the brain, but they’re costly and require injecting a small amount of radioactive material. In a new study, Marco Loggia and colleagues developed an artificial intelligence system that can create “synthetic” [11C]PBR28 (or TSPO) PET images directly from regul...
