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 ...

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 ...
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...
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...
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...
About the Center
The Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital is one of the world’s premier research centers devoted to development and application of advanced biomedical imaging technologies.

Heidi Jacobs
The Jacobs Lab aims to detect the earliest brain changes that contribute to cognitive decline and behavioral changes associated with the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease. Our focus is on neuroimaging method development, biomarker evaluation and testing new preventive interventions targeting...
REACH for BRAIN: Improving Recruitment, Engagement, and Access for Community Health Equity for Human Neuroimaging Research
In September 2023, the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging saw installation of “Connectome 2.0,” a state-of-the-art MRI scanner for imaging of structural connections within the human brain—in fact, the most advanced such scanner in the world. Led by Susie Huang, MD, PhD, a neuroradiolo...
AMA @ Martinos: Anastasia Yendiki
The 2022 meeting of the Organization of Human Brain Mapping (OHBM), to be held June 19-22 in Glasgow, Scotland, will feature keynote lectures by no fewer than two Martinos Center researchers: Anastasia Yendiki and Jon Polimeni. In anticipation of the meeting, we approached Anastasia about putting...
Martinos Investigators Among the Recipients of Distinguished Investigator Award
Martinos Center faculty members Matti Hämäläinen, Vitaly Napadow and Ona Wu are among the 37 researchers selected to receive a 2019 Distinguished Investigator Award from the Academy for Radiology & Biomedical Imaging Research. This prestigious honor recognizes individuals for their accomplish...
Martinos Center Joins QMENTA, University of Rochester in Announcing the Results of the ‘IronTract Challenge’
The Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, the University of Rochester, and medical image processing company QMENTA have concluded the groundbreaking IronTract Challenge, which brought together bioimaging researchers across the world to collaborate on and establish an objective assessment of acc...
Prospective Students Experience the Martinos
Last Friday, the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging welcomed 18 prospective students from the Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology (HST). The students came to learn about educational opportunities at the Center as they look toward the next stage of their academics. The...
Bruce Rosen on the Advanced Imaging Technologies Coming to the Martinos Center
In this video, Center director Bruce Rosen, MD, PhD, describes several cutting-edge technologies that will advance research in the center and elsewhere in the coming years: the “Connectome 2.0” MRI scanner recently installed in the center, a PET insert for the center’s ultrahigh-field (7T) MRI sc...
Center for Mesoscale Mapping
Brain science tools have advanced in several distinct directions. Advanced tools in molecular biology now allow neuroscientists to study distinct patterns of gene expression in individual neural cells, leading to the potential for a comprehensive atlas of cell types. In parallel, tools that allow...
Translational Research Award Goes to Optics Division Investigator
Parisa Farzam, a postdoctoral fellow in the Martinos Center Optics Division, received the 2017 Translational Research Award this week at the annual Photonics West meeting in San Francisco. In accepting the award at the Translational Research lunch forum on Sunday, Farzam described a new techno...
The Year in Review: 2019
The MGH Martinos Center closed out the decade with yet another stellar year. In 2019, Center investigators reported advances in a range of areas – from technology development to basic science research and a host of clinical applications – and generally showed surprising / not-in-the-least-bit-su...
Jean Augustinack
The main goal of Dr. Augustinack's research is to validate neuroimaging, such as MRI, with ground truth histologic analyses and to advance neuroanatomical and pathological biomarkers for in vivo imaging. Her laboratory bridges the domains of ground truth histologic staining and MRI tissue propert...
