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...

A New Role for Diffusion MRI in Treating Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety disorders and depression are widespread among adolescents in the U.S., affecting as many as one in four 13 to 18 year olds. Determining the best course of treatment can be difficult, though, as we still don’t fully understand the biology underlying them. Now, using cutting-edge brain i...
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...
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.

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 ...
