Congratulations to our director for his election into the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering! m.yale.edu/dgp3

New paper alert ‼️🔊🧠 Zheng lab’s first PNAS paper is now live! In this study, we used SV2A PET imaging and detected significant synaptic losses in a mouse model of Multiple Sclerosis and patients with Multiple Sclerosis. Read more here: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

This study examined mGluR5 availability in individuals with & without chronic pain across psychiatric diagnoses; ⬇️ availability was associated with ⬆️ depression, anxiety, & executive dysfunction, highlighting mGluR5 as a potential treatment target nature.com/articles/s4138…

Congratulations to Georges El Fakhri,PhD, DABR, the Elizabeth Mears & House Jameson Professor of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging @YaleMed, on being named co-leader of the @YaleCancer DNA Damage & Genome Integrity research program.

The BITTS conference aims to bring together researchers working in the field of biomedical imaging using a variety of modalities—PET, MR, CT, optical, and ultrasound—and a wide range of organ and disease applications. More info: m.yale.edu/bitts-conferen…

The 1st Biomedical Imaging Technology & Translational Science (BITTS) Conference is Aug.24-25 @YaleWestCampus. Hosted by @YaleBioimaging, this 2-day event gathers researchers in biomedical imaging & data sciences w/a variety of modalities. @YaleMed bit.ly/3OmAUxd

We seek an Associate Research Scientist to primarily perform activities directed towards the production of PET radiotracers for use in human research studies. Should have a PhD or MD/PhD @YaleMed #RadiologyJobs apply.interfolio.com/180661

Join us in welcoming Sheryl Roberts, PhD, Asst. Prof. of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging. Her lab develops chemical tools that help identify disease locations & support cancer treatment. Dr. Roberts discusses her work & coming to @YaleMed in this Q&A: bit.ly/3OqglzM

We are pleased to announce a new paper in @_JCBFM introducing a method to estimate the metabolite-corrected plasma input function (CP) from PET data non-invasively. Read more: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…

Update - the final peer-reviewed version of the manuscript is out! We examined combined utility of PET/MR pancreas imaging metrics in type 2 diabetes. @FrontEndocrinol @YaleBioImaging @Faraz_Nejati @FrnkEbrahimian frontiersin.org/journals/endoc…

At our PET Center, an ultra high-performance brain-dedicated scanner called the NeuroEXPLORER (NX) is redefining what is possible in brain PET imaging. Find out more: m.yale.edu/ddgy

We've developed HYDRA-OL phantoms using high-resolution #3Dprinting to enhance #PETimaging system performance assessment. These phantoms offer superior spatial resolution for next-gen brain PET systems and improved gray and white matter contrast. ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11271…

Article from Dr. Johnson: "Radiologist-Validated Automatic Lumbar T1-Weighted Spinal MRI Segmentation Tool via an Attention U-Net Algorithm" supports consistent measurements and future quantitative spine applications. mdpi.com/3612296 #mdpidiagnostics via @diagnostic_mdpi

Director Georges El Fakhri presented on imaging approaches for #NETS Awareness Day 2025. See link for a full video of the Smilow Shares seminar, highlighting the diagnosis, treatment, and awareness of neuroendocrine tumors: m.yale.edu/dctm

Our finance and operations team was recently honored with the Lorimer Award, which celebrates outstanding Yale staff. This team worked tirelessly to provide the financial and operational expertise needed to launch our new Yale Biomedical Imaging Institute. your.yale.edu/working-at-yal…

Two of our institute members have been recognized for their highly cited research by the data and analytics company Clarivate: John Krystal, @DScheinost medicine.yale.edu/news-article/t…

Congratulations to Prof. Jason Cai for his startup "Synvest Imaging Inc.: Developing novel molecular imaging agents to advance early detection and personalized treatment".

The 3rd annual Nonlinear Parameter Parley and Pub Crawl, held at Seoul National University Hospital on May 30, brought together PET kinetic modeling experts. New topics included time-varying models & spatial drug occupancy #NLPPPC #PETImaging #BrainPET2025 medicine.yale.edu/biomedical-ima…

Like a caricature artist does with facial features, Yale Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging’s @DScheinost, MD, and colleagues are emphasizing distinctive features of individuals’ brain activity to better predict their behavior: medicine.yale.edu/news-article/c… @YaleRadiology

Resting-state FC has long been a source of debate. Recent evidence suggests that task-like patterns dominate its signal. To study less dominant components, we introduced a caricaturing method to project the data to a subspace orthogonal to these patterns. rdcu.be/eN1gJ
