Congratulations to PIRC members Benjamin D Meyers, Vincent Lee, Vanessa Schmithorst, Ashok Panigrahy, and Rafael Ceschin for their newly accepted paper! The work is entitled “Harmonization of Multi-Center Diffusion Tensor Tractography in Neonates with Congenital Heart Disease: Optimizing Post-Processing and Application of ComBat” and it will be published in the esteemed NeuroImage. Their paper explores a common problem in the…
Vince Lee presented at 31st Annual International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine held from May 7-14 in London, UK. Vince gave a podium presentation for his abstract “Early Postnatal Multi-modal MRI Structural Trajectory of Brain Dysmaturation Predicts Early Childhood Language Outcomes in Complex CHD”. This work is based on neonatal brain volume and white matter tract trajectories examined over…
William (Billy) Reynolds has passed his Doctoral Comprehensive Exam for the Department of Biomedical Informatics! The exam is overseen by three committee members, all professors from the Department of Biomedical Informatics, who evaluate a trainee’s proposed research, their ability to deconstruct their work, and their ability to defend its significance, innovation, and methodology. Completion demonstrates a trainee’s fitness for completing…
Joy had the opportunity to fly to San Diego where he presented his poster entitled “Evaluating Brain Age Models in Adolescents with CHD”. Joy presented at the 2021 Annual Meeting for the American Medical Informatics Association where he listened to the latest cutting edge research on medical informatics, networked with the leaders in the field, and even presented his own…
Advanced cardiac imaging offers a look at the cardiac anatomy including the vascular structures, aiding in evaluating cardiac function and cardiac output. Imaging of the coronary arteries and measuring the flow velocities within the vascular structures are additional benefits of cardiac MRI. Recently obtained advanced sequencing techniques will enable radiologists to quantify iron levels within the heart and liver. These…
