Randy Gollub Named Chair-Elect of OHBM, Floats Idea of Ska Band’s Return
The Martinos Center’s Randy Gollub has been elected to be the next Chair of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM), an international society launched by Center researchers a quarter century ago. She is delighted to be able to step into the role: not least because of the many “resonanc...
‘Pioneer Campfires’ Offer Stories of the Early Days of fMRI
Imagine sitting by a campfire, listening to trailblazers and other witnesses to key moments in the history of MRI as they casually recount the untold stories behind seminal papers or inventions. Attendees of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) 2019 Annual Meeting ...
The Secret Lives of Martinos Folk: Jake Calkins on vintage guitar amplifiers and peering into the past
Science and music may seem like entirely different disciplines, sitting on opposite sides of a dichotomy that divides the world into two types of people: left brain / right brain, logical / intuitive, and so on. But in fact, they are more similar than one might think (as are the people who practi...
Treating Aneurysm with MR Coagulation
A team of investigators in the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, in collaboration with medical device company Robin Medical, has developed a new method that could help to address cerebral aneurysm while adding therapeutic capabilities to magnetic resonance imaging. Cerebral aneurysm,...

Learning to See: New Artificial Intelligence Technique Dramatically Improves the Quality of Medical Imaging
A radiologist’s ability to make accurate diagnoses from high-quality diagnostic imaging studies directly impacts patient outcome. However, acquiring sufficient data to generate the best quality imaging comes at a cost – increased radiation dose for computed tomography (CT) and positron emission t...
Xin Yu
Xin Yu studied Neuroscience and Biophysics at New York University, USA.
