University of California, San Diego scientists are developing a new imaging modality that will study the body/brain dynamics of humans engaged in normal activity.
University of California, San Diego scientists are developing a new imaging modality that will study the body/brain dynamics of humans engaged in normal activity.
The Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience at UCSD is creating the concurrent brain and body imaging modality MoBI (Mobile Brain/Body Imaging) under a four-year $3.4 million research grant from the U.S. Navy Office of Naval Research. According to principal investigator Scott Makeig, Ph.D., the insight provided by fMRI could be used by MoBI to “read” motivations behind actions by performing cognitive monitoring. If successful, the technique will allow functional studies outside the confined laboratory setting, such as screening the brain activity of workers in stressful situations.
Can Deep Learning Radiomics with bpMRI Bolster Accuracy for Prostate Cancer Prognosis?
January 22nd 2025An emerging deep learning radiomics model based on biparametric MRI (bpMRI) offered a 14 to 17 percent higher AUC range than PI-RADS scoring for predicting the aggressiveness of prostate cancer, according to new research findings.
