The (Totally True) Legend of Thomas Witzel and the Ultrahigh-field MRI Quench
Sometimes we get the hero we need. In the summer of 2017, the 7T MRI scanner at the MGH Martinos Center suffered a quench: a sudden loss of superconductivity resulting in a complete loss of the scanner’s magnetic field. In short, it broke. Without a magnetic field, the instrument was inoperabl...
MGB Radiology Research Celebration 2023
In 2023, the joint departments of Radiology Research at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital seek to recognize and support the accomplishments of our outstanding research faculty. We are immensely appreciative of the quality and quantity of their work. The annual Rad...
Berkin Bilgic
MRI has demonstrated ability to provide exquisite contrast for non-invasive imaging. What limits its efficiency and sensitivity are the tradeoffs between scan time, resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. Dr. Bilgic's research is devoted to breaking this stalemate by developing new acquisition and ...
