Congratulations to Walter Zhao @MRI_Wally , and thanks to @RSNA ! Building on this work, he is tackling all aspects of translating MR Fingerprinting base quantitative imaging and analysis to clinical system for brain tumors ! @MRI_ChaitraB @StaudtMD
For his 2022 RSNA Research Medical Student Grant project, Walter Zhao, and colleagues aimed to characterize the reproducibility of MRF-derived radiomic features and establish physiological reference ranges for these metrics. @MRI_Wally bit.ly/42nN2mz

Will your algorithm stand up to over 150,000 MRI contrasts? @UNCRadiology @BRIC_UNC
Exciting work led by @RheaAdams_MRI in collaboration with @pt_yap on UltimateSynth, a pan-contrast MRI synthesis framework powered by MR physics that generates realistic MR images across the full contrast spectrum, independent of sequence, scan, vendor, or contrast type. UltimateSynth transforms AI training with customizable contrast for annotation, lifespan segmentation, and benchmarking! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Question: any tips for MR scanning a ~2-year-old without sedation ? After several unsuccessful trials, it's not about fixing motion during the scan -- it's about getting them to lay down and start the scan. Suggestions ? #pediatricMR
