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):

If you like this demo, you will love the great demos by @pezlarson.bsky.social that can be found here:

(Complete with python code to generate them!)
On a positive note - Happy Pythagorean Triple Square Day :) #math #MATH

Pythagorean Triple Square Day, as one man affectionately calls 9/16/25, is a day like no other this century.
Yes definitely will be some improvement! particularly for diffusion MRI the image should be better quality, and also some more precise measurements of cancerous tissue
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
Nice demo by Mark Lescroart @neuromdl.bsky.social on EPI imaging of a single #fMRI slice. Great for teaching! :)

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…

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
