GREAT! workshop on Deformable Image Registration yesterday and today organized and hosted by Dr. Brock @kkbGoBlue and team at the Image-Guided Cancer Therapy (IGCT) Program @MDAndersonNews . Yesterday DIR fundamentals... and today, DIR methods and applications from head to toe!

#MedTwitter looking to learn about deformable image registration? Brush up on techniques? Learn clinical examples and future work? IGCT program @MDAndersonNews is hosting a 2 Day virtual workshop w/ an outstanding lineup of international speakers! mdanderson.org/IGCT

Happy 50th Anniversary SPIE Medical Imaging. Cristian Linte and I drafted a review in JMI on the "Image-Guided Procedures" conference. We covered major themes, top-cited and most downloaded papers, and awards! @SPIEtweets @JHUBME istar.jhu.edu/news/ doi.org/10.1117/1.JMI.…

Predicting surgical complications using machine learning -- Dr. Hassan and colleagues at UT MD Anderson identify unique predictors of hernia recurrence and readmission following abdominal wall reconstruction. @MDAndersonNews #SurgicalDataScience consumer.healthday.com/ml-can-predict…

Cone-beam CT with an improved x-ray detector based on IGZO transistor readout -- new paper by Niral Sheth and colleagues at the I-STAR Lab @JHUBME shows the advantages. @HopkinsEngineer istar.jhu.edu/news aapm.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Congratulations, Dr. Runze Han! on defense of your PhD thesis at Hopkins BME! Dr. Han developed novel image registration algorithms for challenging problems in image-guided surgery. Extra-extra at I-STAR News: istar.jhu.edu/news/ @JHUBME @HopkinsMedicine @HopkinsEngineer

@sgswisher @MDAndersonNews Thank you @sgswisher and team! I'm inspired and excited by the tremendous vision and outstanding colleagues, resources, and opportunities in surgical data science and technology at MD Anderson!

We're thrilled to announce @JeffSiewerdsen will be joining our #oncsurgery team @MDAndersonNews He will be a critical leaders in surgical data science & innovation #EndCancer

The I-STARs align at SPIE Medical Imaging 2022 -- back in-person for a GREAT conference! @JHUBME @HopkinsEngineer @SPIEtweets #SPIE2022" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">istar.jhu.edu/news/#SPIE2022

Exiting NEWS: I am flying to Baltimore today to visit @JHUBME for the summer. I will be joining @JeffSiewerdsen‘s group to work on improved imaging for the surgical suite.

Congratulations, Dr. Pengwei Wu -- for successfully defending your PhD Thesis at Hopkins BME! #Pengwei" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">istar.jhu.edu/istar.jhu.edu/… @JHUBME @JohnsHopkins @HopkinsEngineer

“Images are numbers… and numbers can be beautiful.”Here is the volume rendered image of brain. The brain and lateral ventricle structure was segmented with SkullStripper and Segment Editor. It's amazing to view the brain in 3D space from MR scan. #RadiologyForEngineers @JHUBME

Did I make a Twitter just to post this? Yes, because a 3D rendering of a glioma inside a brain deserves to be seen! The beauty of this image is that it can help in treatment planning- #RadiologyForEngineers taught me that images are numbers & numbers can be beautiful 🧠 @JHUBME

Congratulations!!! Dr. Pengwei Wu -- for his successful PhD defense at Hopkins BME -- Improved Image Quality in Cone-Beam CT for Image-Guided Interventions! @JHUBME @JHUBME @HopkinsMedicine

Images are numbers... and numbers can be beautiful Numbers can do more than just help us count; they can help us discover beautiful patterns. Images provide an excellent example of numbers hidden behind beautiful objects.#RadiologyForEngineers @JHUBME

Maybe this image can help us find out if the brain thinks the way we think it does. "Images are numbers... and numbers can be beautiful" ~ A wise & awesome professor once told us. #RadiologyForEngineers @JHUBME

Here is a transformed image where the glioma in a patient's brain is bright and inflamed, clearly visible to a radiologist and individuals less experienced in the exciting field of medical imaging. Images are numbers... and numbers are beautiful. #RadiologyForEngineers @JHUBME

#RadiologyForEngineers Images are numbers… and numbers can be beautiful. Colorful lines show the fiber trajectories of the corpus callosum. Magical numbers acquired from DTI enable us to dive into the brain and explore how the signal travels through neurons. @JHUBME

@JHUBME Images are numbers… and numbers can be beautiful. Using information from combinations of MRI images with slightly different imaging parameters, physicians can diagnose all sorts of conditions.

"Images are numbers & numbers can be beautiful" Image analysis allows us to narrow down to fine details within a radiology image. The infiltration of the lung tumor mass can be visualized by segmentation and 3D reconstruction of its CT image. #RadiologyForEngineers @JHUBME

#RadiologyForEngineers @JHUBME Fiber tract of anterior corpus callosum overlayed on T2 weighted MRI. Shows all the cool connectivity across hemispheres! Hopefully good enough for extra credit haha
