John C. Malone Associate Professor of JHU ECE Bisi Bell was recently featured by MIT Technology Review, highlighting her goal to make sure everyone—regardless of body size, skin color, or address—has access to effective medical imaging tools. technologyreview.com/2024/10/22/110…

Normally, MRI is operated in a shielded room to avoid the effects of electromagnetic noise originating from external electronic equipment. Since it is difficult to set up a shielded room at home, we have mastered the technique of measuring electromagnetic noise and using machine

“Less than 0.5% percent of brain imaging articles published over the last 25 years consider health factors specific to women.” Nina Miolane 🦋 @ninamiolane.bsky.social of The Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative is changing this by using #AI digital twins of women’s brains to deepen our understanding of health. #ImagingTheFuture

We are working on our submissions!

TV regularization is still extensively used in scientific imaging as an image model for piecewise-constant images. We revisit TV with new theory on its approximation. Let me highlight the work by Eddie Chandler (edchandler00.github.io), who is PhD student at WashU CSE and CIG.

Give the students an MRI sequence and they can do one project. Teach the students Pulseq programming and they can do new projects for their whole life. Our #Pulseq course + #MR-zero simu starts again Monday Mar 10, 9:30 (CET). Just join virtually: buff.ly/cF59vzw

‼️We are so excited to announce #SASHIMI2025 at #MICCAI2025 in Daejeon! 🇰🇷 🌏 This year marks a DECADE of Simulation and Synthesis in Medical Imaging! It's never been more exciting to work in this field than now. Important dates and call for papers here: sashimiworkshop.org/call_for_paper…

3D consistent videos are hard to generate 🙁 What if we could steer them to be consistent during generation? Introducing SteerX🛞, a plug-and-play sampling method that works with *any* video diffusion to make videos physically plausible🤩 w/ Byeongjun Park Hyojun Go Hyelin Nam

"Can you generate this attached image in a Ghibili style?" MR -> Ghibli synthesis!

Ulugbek's (Ulugbek S. Kamilov) talk at Johns Hopkins University is now online. He talks about recent work in CIG in collaboration with several colleagues on coming up with new ways to define and use priors in computational imaging. youtube.com/watch?v=oCoRSC…

Submissions are OPEN for #SASHIMI2025! ✨ sashimiworkshop.org/submission/ There is a clean >2 month-gap until the deadline on June 25th, which is ample time to get your simulation and synthesis papers ready for publication! We are looking forward to meeting you in Daejeon! 🌏

I thought I understood VAEs and their limitations, but after reading this paper, I realized I didn’t—and even now, I still don’t know why VAEs don't work as stand-alone generative models. This paper proves that the optimal Gaussian VAEs should generate data distribution well.

We are excited to announce that SASHIMI 2025 will host the SynthRAD2025 Challenge at #MICCAI2025! We are again honored to collaborate with the SynthRAD team as we did two years ago. synthrad2025.grand-challenge.org

Hypothetical ethics question: consider an excellent VAE trained on public data and publicly released. Then, encode a set of real human images to the latent space. Are these latent codes considered PHI?

💫 Congrats to all with early-accepted #MICCAI2025 papers! 📷For those whose work got lost in "reviewer noise", please consider #SASHIMI2025 for your #MedicalImaging synthesis work! 📷 📢 Call for papers below! 📢 sashimiworkshop.org/call_for_paper…

The quality of medical image synthesis has been greatly advanced with the development of generative modeling. The eminent Paul Thompson Paul Thompson has posted an excellent overview and resource on LinkedIn that we certainly endorse. Please check it out! linkedin.com/posts/paul-tho…
