Thank you @esmrmb.bsky.social and thank you Marseille!

This was a greatly enjoyable meeting and I was delighted to see sessions dedicated to the importance of medical imaging quality (control & assurance) and reference standards.

Day 3 of #ESMRMB2025 begins shortly. It’s poster day!

In poster PG353 PreOperative Performance’s technology is applied to higher order tensor models of diffusion MRI data which can resolve complex neural architecture such as areas with crossing fibers.

This image shows 3 pairs of crossing white matter simulating modules with 3 different bundle diameters from our phantom POP-0005. Note that the bundles with smallest diameter are sub-voxel dimensions.

MR imaging at 1.5T vs 3T have different advantages. 🧠

Aside from cost considerations, imaging at 3T delivers higher signal to noise (SNR) enabling increased spatial resolution, critical for identification of smaller white matter tracts and changes that may result from injury or disease.

A post on visualizing white matter bifurcations using diffusion analysis:
🧠

We show that using the diffusion model and seed-based #tractography, we are able to delineate the full bifurcating module of a bifurcating module in our phantom POP-0005 with dimensions as given.

A short thread on partial voxel effects in MR imaging:

This figure shows the effects of partial volume on FA on 2 white matter simulating modules with diameter 5.9 mm (along S-I, in green) and 4.3 mm (along R-L, in red).
