Ok, people wanted more brain candy so here are better views of #7T CE-MRV at 300 micron isotropic resolution. #MayoClinicFlorida @SiemensHealth #Terra

So proud of @alaa_t_ for successfully defending his thesis. First PhD grad of the AIMS lab!🎯 Incredibly fortunate to work with him & @neuroak over the last few years on @afids_project. Thanks also to examiners @developingbrai1 @SarahMattonen @lcanresearch @EMiddlebrooksMD🙏

You won’t want to miss this! Building on ASFNR’s highly successful BOLD Workshop, we integrated more clinically oriented content in partnership with @PrismClinical & @nordicneurolab to prepare you to be a clinical fMRI expert! Even prior attendees likely to learn something new!
Explore the power of functional imaging! Don’t miss the BOLD fMRI Workshop at #ASFNR25 in Austin. In-depth training on task-fMRI, resting-state fMRI, & hands-on experience with NordicNeuroLab and Prism software! 📍Sept 18 | Space is limited, register now: asfnr.org/workshops

The 3rd annual meeting of 7T Translational Alliance of North America (7TANA) was successfully held at UTSW July 14-15 2025, great progresses in multiple frontiers of 7T clinical translations. Congrats to organizers Dr. Anke Henning and Sheeba Anteraper at UTSW see y'all next year
Standing room only for @EMiddlebrooksMD talk on Clinical Applications of 7T -- a special summer grand rounds @WesternUCNS! Incredible work @MayoClinic integrating 7T. Thanks for the visit, and examining @alaa_t_'s thesis!
Had a great time visiting @jclauneuro and team at @WesternU to share experiences in 7T, neuromodulation, and much more! Big congrats to @alaa_t_! Honored to be his external PhD examiner for his phenomenal work.

"DL reconstruction techniques in MRI can substantially improve scan time, resolution, and image quality, but have not been well validated at 7T. We show that DL reconstruction of 2D TSE T2-weighted imaging at 7T can significantly enhance image quality without adverse effects."
Despite nature’s best attempts to derail me, made it to #7TANA 2025 meeting! Always enjoy seeing what our non-Neuro colleagues are up to on 7T. A great event & exciting talks—plus an awesome venue! Thanks to @UTSWMedCenter for hosting us!
Two cancelled flights and now a delayed flight later…what are the odds I will make it 🤔
🧠 Honored to share our insights as coauthors on optimizing #7T MRI for stereotactic planning in DBS. Precision starts with acquisition & integration—plus, we outline practical protocols for accurate targeting. A step forward for functional neurosurgery!
Celebrate freedom from archaic indirect targeting with our latest article on best practice for #7T MRI in #DBS! This multicenter project shares insights from >1,000 DBS cases using 7T! Not only can it be safely done, but allows improved precision! @TheJNS doi.org/10.3171/2025.3…
Was a dreary and 🌧️ evening, but led into a beautiful day for baby’s first real hike with mom & dad!
Awesome! There are also Perfusion and BOLD fMRI Hands-On workshops September 18 leading up to #ASFNR25 in Austin! 🤠asfnr.org/pre-conference… 🧠#beyondBOLD
An amazing UHF User Meeting in Frankfurt! Incredible to see all of the progress in 7T MRI around the world, as well as the explosion in routine clinical usage. The future is bright for clinical 7T!
