Martinos Researchers, NTP Students Producing PPE for Front Line Workers
The global COVID-19 pandemic has inspired countless instances of people banding together to help those on the front lines of the fight against the virus. Among the many examples is the MasksOn project, an already robust and rapidly expanding effort to address the shortage of personal protective e...
Visualizing the Mind: How We See the Brain Through Functional MRI
Last year, Harvard College senior Kelsey Ichikawa (shown in the photo above) interviewed the Martinos Center’s Bruce Rosen and Bruce Fischl for a general audience article about functional MRI, which she was writing for a science journalism course. Earlier this year, the article won the Harvard Bo...

The Past, Present and Future of Molecular Imaging @ Martinos
Over the past several months, the MGH Martinos Center has been both celebrating the past and looking toward the future of its molecular imaging effort – with a symposium held last fall and now a series of initiatives designed to bolster the molecular imaging community. While there has always b...
The Secret Lives Of Martinos Folk: Radio, Nerds, and Where Punk and Science Meet
When you hear the words "MIT radio station" you might imagine a group of nervous, bow tie-clad engineers crowded around a chalkboard with a Venn diagram of Roger Dean album covers and Silmarillion references. And you might be forgiven if you did. Such stereotypes of science and engineering studen...
Nutrition and Brain Growth in the Developing World
The aging pickup truck bounces along a dirt road somewhere outside Bissora, one of the larger towns in the Oio region of the West African nation of Guinea-Bissau. The road, a major thoroughfare in the region, is pocked with holes. The rest of the year these would be deep and dusty. But it’s July ...
Ultrahigh-field MRI Tracks Development of Cortical Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
The development of lesions in the brain’s cortical gray matter is a strong predictor of neurological disability for people with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a study reported today in the journal Radiology. The findings suggest a role for ultrahigh-field MRI in monitoring the progression ...
The Radiochemistry Team, and Everything That Doesn’t Go Wrong
PET-MR, a multimodality imaging technique that pairs the whole-body functional imaging of positron emission tomography (PET) with the local anatomic detail and morphological information of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, shows great potential for clinical application. We still don’t know exactly...
Deep Learning Algorithm Can Measure Disease Severity and Change on a Continuous Spectrum
Clinicians often use imaging to evaluate both the severity and progression of disease, in many cases by assigning severity to one of several categories based on the imaging findings and seeing whether and how the classification changes on follow-up. This approach can have its limits, though. B...
The Secret Lives of Martinos Folk: Fighting Stereotypes of Women in Islam, One Karate Kick at a Time
Zeynab Alshelh has practiced karate since she was a young child growing up in Australia. For much of the time she has been involved with the sport, she has focused her efforts on the discipline known as shadow fighting, or Kata. Kata comprises a pre-arranged pattern of movements—kicks and punches...
