This is a great analysis, especially I like the assessment of different variables on performance in detecting aggressive prostate cancer from MRI
important for ML Researchers to see work like this where real world AUCs ~0.7, showing often fundamental challenges in biomedical problems
For 15(!) years I’ve been teaching introductory #MRI to grad students, and struggled to find a textbook for a wide variety of backgrounds. I'm happy to share an online textbook I created, fully open source (including code for generating figures and plots shown):

Students in our MSBI program don't just learn imaging principles in a lecture hall; they work with tabletop MRI units, clinical scanners & wet-lab science. We sat down with program leaders Drs. Youngho Seo & Susan Noworolskito learn more: bit.ly/4ci9tyD
Dr. Peder Larson (@pezlarson.bsky.social) will host @ucsfci2.bsky.social's Segmentation Tools Seminar!
🗓 Wednesday, September 24
🕒 3:00 - 4:30 p.m.
📍Genentech Hall Auditorium or Zoom
See you there!
Advances in 2D materials are enabling atomic-scale resolution in NMR spectroscopy, offering new possibilities for quantum sensing, computing, and communications. doi.org/g9zm6v
On a positive note - Happy Pythagorean Triple Square Day :) #math #MATH

Nice demo by Mark Lescroart @neuromdl.bsky.social on EPI imaging of a single #fMRI slice. Great for teaching! :)

The same technology behind MRI images of injury or disease also powers nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which is used to analyze biological molecules for research on diseases and therapeutics.

This is a demonstration of how a single slice of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data is collected. Before this makes any sense, you will need to understand…
