A new preprint on the free-water volume fraction across the adult lifespan

[11 Oct 2022]

The free-water volume fraction has recently gained tremendous interest in research and clinical communities as it brings information about the cerebrospinal and interstitial fluids in the extracellular space of the white matter of the brain and thus correlates with cognitive performance and various neuropathological processes.

Researchers of LPI create 'synthetic' images that could improve the diagnosis of malignant brain tumours

[13 Jun 2022]

Artificial Intelligence has enabled two pre-doctoral researchers at the University of Valladolid, Rafael Navarro and Elisa Moya, to generate synthetic images that can be used in combination with those adquired in an MRI scaner in a radiomic system for survival prediction of patients with glioblastoma.

MICCAI 2022 Challenge (Quad22)

[28 Mar 2022]

The LPi is organizing an official Challenge inside MICCAI 2022: "Quality augmentation in diffusion MRI for clinical studies: Validation in migraine" (QuaD22). The challenge seeks to answer the question: “Are we losing relevant quantitative clinical information when generating high-quality images with artificial intelligence techniques?” More information in the official webpage [here]

Q&A for MRM Hightlights

[14 Mar 2022]

Santiago Aja and Antonio Tristán have been interviewed for MRM Highlights about their paper entitled “Accurate free-water estimation in white matter from fast diffusion MRI acquisitions”, whoch has been selected pick of the month (January 2022).  Editor claims that "[they] chose this paper because the authors demonstrated exemplary reproducible research practices; in particular, in the context of a larger software tool that they developed and manage (dMRI-Lab), they shared tools developed as part of this work." Complete interview is available here.
