🎶 The #CVPR2025 reception is rockin’ in the Ballroom! Country vibes are strong and the CVPR House Band is taking the stage to drive this Nashville night home. 🤠🎸 Grab some drinks, hit the dance floor, and let the music roll! #CVPR #MusicCityMagic

A slide stating “First question: Can GARF generalize to unseen object shapes” showing colored fragments combining together.

A slide stating “The real-world data is usually found with missing or extraneous fragments” along with an example of each case.

Dr. Jing Zhang is using AI to reconstruct fragmented archaeological materials at the 1st International Workshop on Spatial Intelligence for Cultural Heritage at #CVPR2025. Super cool work on such a difficult problem!

A slide states “What can skeletal remains from the past teach us about today? And tell us about health in the future?”

Starting off the morning at #CVPR2025 with “the coolest project going on with @vandyvaliant.bsky.social” - imaging mummies to learn about health and aging from our past with Dr. Van Schaik!

A large banner reads “Welcome to CVPR Nashville”

A crowd of people in the atrium of Music City Center

Super excited to have #CVPR2025 happening right here in Nashville! Already tons of great workshops and posters today.

Two painted pots, one with abstract designs holding a pencil cactus, another with a smiley face holding a spiky cactus.

Celebrating a year of growth at @vandyvaliant.bsky.social with TensorFlow-er Power Hour!

#PhD #MedicalImaging #AI

Happy first anniversary to @vandyvaliant.bsky.social! Each VALIANT member received Gemini-generated poems summarizing their work over the past year. What a cool way to celebrate! Check out mine here:

🌿 A VALIANT Attempt at… TensorFlow-er Power Hour! 🌼
VALIANT Scholars, mark your calendars for next Tuesday, May 6th at 4:00 PM in Stevenson Courtyard!
We will be painting pots and planting succulents to take with you to unwind from finals stress and welcome in the summer! 🌞🪴

Largest mammalian brain map ever could unpick what makes us human A map of part of a mouse brain, which is expected to be generalisable to people, could help scientists understand behaviours, consciousness and even what it means to be human

Join the #BeyondFA challenge and help us discover more capable diffusion MRI metrics than fractional anisotropy to understand aging!

Title slide that states “DeepN4: Learning ITKN4 Bias Field Correction for T1-weighted Images”

DIPY Online Workshop 2025 poster, highlighting 6 keynote speakers and a QR code for registration

I’m thankful for the opportunity I had to present on work from @masi-lab.bsky.social on bias field correction at the #DIPY Workshop! Glad to support this useful #OpenSource toolkit for diffusion MRI.

Finding functional brain patterns in the white matter with vascular smoothing with Adam Saunders @spie.org with #SPIE_JMI 3-minute poster competition

I am standing with a certificate next to a large sign saying “SPIE Medical Imaging”

Thankful to have been named a finalist for the Robert F. Wagner All-Conference Best Student Paper Award at #SPIEMedicalImaging!

Come check out our 3-minute poster talk on Wednesday night to learn about vasculature smoothing!

@masi-lab.bsky.social
@vandyvaliant.bsky.social

Thanks for facilitating some great discussions!

A slide says “Anatomic smoothing preserves anatomical structure in signals” and shows isotopic Gaussian smoothing compared to diffusion smoothing.

Come check out our work on creating a diffusion smoothing atlas at 2 PM in Town and Country A at #SPIEMedicalImaging!

A group of students learning crochet. A slide reads “Cookies and Crochet for VAL-entine’s Day”

I am leading the group in learning crochet using an overhead camera.

We had a “VALIANT Attempt” at teaching crochet! Loved sharing an art form with other AI trainees that can’t be machined (yet)! #AI #PhD #crochet

We have a new paper out in #MagneticResonanceImaging on correcting biases in quantitative T1 mapping methods for MRI using a patch-based deep learning model! @VandyValiant #MRI #MedicalImaging #DeepLearning #AI

Check out our new paper in #SPIE_JMI on our method for creating eye atlases for @_hubmap from low-resolution MRI using super-resolution and deep learning-based image registration! https://doi.org/10.1117/1.JMI.11.6.064004 @SPIEtweets @MASI_Lab @VandyValiant #MRI #medicalimaging

Thank you to @vuiis for the opportunity to share this work and hear about all the cool things happening here in imaging science! https://x.com/VandyValiant/status/1846938953624310197

An image processing riddle for those of you interested — I bought this shirt at @SPIEtweets Medical Imaging 2023 and was told there’s a secret message if we run it through MATLAB. We can’t figure it out! Any thoughts? 1/2

I got way too excited to see today that someone cited me for the first time!

Super excited to be a part of this new drive for translational AI at Vanderbilt! https://x.com/VUEngineering/status/1787517839215366425

It was great presenting on quantitative T1 mapping and hearing all of the cool things going on at @EceVanderbilt! #eceday24

A magic mirror reflects anatomy in an engaging way and enters White House open science challenge Visitors to Nashville’s Adventure Science Center can get a new perspective of themselves with an augmented reality (AR) anatomy that creates the illusion of an X-ray view of the body’s muscles and bones.

It was exciting to talk about the MASI Lab and demo the AR Mirror at Nashville’s Adventure Science Center! https://engineering.vanderbilt.edu/2024/03/26/a-magic-mirror-reflects-anatomy-in-an-engaging-way-and-enters-white-house-open-science-challenge/
