When you win the #ERC + it's your birthday = huge celebration! 😊 🍾 My amazing lab members made it unforgettable by surprising me with flowers & champagne!

We had many more reasons to celebrate - the TERA-HDH grant, students' excellence awards & even two weddings!

Happy New Hebrew Year, everyone!🥂

We're honored to win the new binational TERA-HDH grant! 🚀 Our joint project with Dr. Philippe Ciuciu & NeuroSpin's team, titled K-SPARK, focuses on developing AI-driven methods for rapid T1w MRI🌟

Say it with us: K-SPARK! ✨

I’m honored to receive the ERC funding and super proud of my brilliant team, whose hard work and dedication made this possible. Many thanks also to my colleagues and mentors, whose kind advice was highly motivating.

Our goal is to build an integrated AI–MRI framework for rapid discovery of new low-field MRI techniques, to enable high-quality imaging with low-cost devices. Medical imaging with compact, affordable devices is the next big thing — and we’re excited to help drive this revolution!

Absolutely thrilled to share that I've been awarded a €1.8M 𝐄𝐑𝐂 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 to develop an AI-driven technology for low-field MRI!

Exciting times ahead!

Please include the phrase "Application for Empire AI postdoc position" in the email's subject line.

2/3 Joint affiliation: Cornell-Tech, @cornelltech.bsky.social, Jacobs Institute, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology

Funding: available immediately from Empire AI

We're looking for postdocs with a solid background and extensive hands-on experience in deep learning for medical imaging.

1/3 🔥 Postdoc opportunity! 🌟 Excited to share that Prof. Mert Sabuncu @msabuncu.bsky.social and I are recruiting postdocs for new research projects in AI for MRI. They will be co-mentored by us and work at the CornellTech campus on Roosevelt Island, NYC.✨

Last night I was excited to welcome new members at the Newbie reception and kick off the ISMRM week with @mrimark.bsky.social, our society's incoming president! @ismrm.bsky.social

3/4
- Experiments with 4 MRI datasets, including raw in-vivo 50mT and 6.5mT data, show that our framework provides state-of-the-art performance

- ViT-Fuser is also highly robust to variations in field strength, SNR, acceleration factor, and tissue contrast/pulse sequence.

2/4

- We introduce a novel longitudinal MRI strategy: a baseline high-field scan & follow-up low-field scans

- To boost the low-field MRI speed and quality, we introduce ViT-Fuser, a deep network that extracts personalized features from the baseline scan and leverages them in the low-field recon

ViT-Fuser, a new deep learning framework for longitudinal MRI with high- and low-field scan

1/4 Excited to share the 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝗯 and our upcoming ISMRM talks in Hawaii! ✨🌺

Led by Tal Oved from my lab, in collaboration w/ @rosenlab.bsky.social & Sheng Shen from Harvard/MGH, and Andrew Webb, Beatrice Lena & Chloé Najac from LUMC

MRI acquisition and reconstruction cookbook: recipes for reproducibility, served with real-world flavour - Magnetic Resonance Materials in Physics, Biology and Medicine MRI acquisition and reconstruction research has transformed into a computation-driven field. As methods become more sophisticated, compute-heavy, and data-hungry, efforts to reproduce them become more...

This cookbook is long overdue, and it starts with my favorite Buckheit and Donoho quote!

Inspiring work by @jtsense.bsky.social @efratshimron.bsky.social Moritz Zaiss and colleagues

Spring is here! Spectacular views all around. I hiked around my village and it was gorgeous. Have a great weekend everyone! 🌷

Hey all! This is my very first BlueSky post. The BASP Frontiers conference this week was fantastic! It was wonderful to reconnect with colleagues and hear about ongoing research. Here w/
