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🌟 Photo from ISMRM in Hawaii, where we got the great news. Say it with us: K-SPARK! ✨

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!

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

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/ @danielrueckert.bsky.social. Love the Swiss Alps 🤩
