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...
TRANSLATE (Translational Research in Radiology)
The TRANSLATE seminar series offers conversations about the latest advances in translational research in radiology, and about the process of translational research itself. Each seminar brings together a physician with particular clinical needs and a researcher developing imaging technologies that...
White Matter Changes Could Predict Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease is diagnosed based on abnormal pathology of two proteins in the brain: amyloid and tau. Research suggests, however, that other factors may also play a role. In a paper published online this week in the journal Neurology, a team of investigators at the Athinoula A. Martinos Cen...
ISMRM Welcomes New President Larry Wald

Meet Nilson Fernandes, the New Operations Director for the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging
This week, the Center welcomes a new member to the Martinos community: Nilson Fernandes, MHM, who will oversee operations of the Center's always expanding imaging core. He is the first person to occupy the newly created position of Operations Director. In this brief Q&A, Nilson tells us ab...
Molecular Imaging Seminar Series
The Molecular Imaging seminar series is a Center-wide seminar series. Molecular Imaging represents a multidisciplinary effort exploiting the convergence of imagine-capture techniques, basic cell/molecular biology, chemistry, medicine, and pharmacology. Talks are presented by invited speakers from...
The Center’s Regan Butterfield on Her New Role with SNMMI
Last year, the Martinos Center’s Regan Butterfield was asked to serve as the Education co-chair for the Clinical Trials Network (CTN) for the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI). In a recent conversation, Butterfield, a research nuclear medicine technologist in the Center, t...
