Deep Resolve Boost (DRB) and Sharp (DRS) for Diffusion: ADC Phantom Evaluation by Hyun--Soo Lee, PhD; Thomas Benkert, PhD; et al. (Siemens Healthineers)

Using a dedicated diffusion phantom, this study systematically and objectively assessed whether the use of DRB and DRS impacts the ADC for DWI.
The authors conclude that that it does not influence ADC values. This holds true for different protocol settings.

Retrospective #MotionCorrection for Brain #MRI: A Technical Description of SAMER by Daniel Polak (Siemens Healthineers), Stephen Cauley (Massachusetts General Hospital, MA, USA), and colleagues.
The SAMER algorithm will reduce the computational burden of motion estimation by leveraging an ultra-fast scout scan along with the repeated acquisition of a limited number of additional k-space encoding lines.

Optimizing EPI Image Quality Beyond Linear Phase Corrections with Dual-Polarity GRAPPA. André Fischer, PhD; Wei Liu, PhD; and Kun Zhou, PhD (Siemens Healthineers) introduce a new technique to address even higher order phase variations in EPI, thereby optimizing in particular high-end diffusion applications in which uncorrected phase variations can have a substantial effect.

Bring-Your-Own-Phantom (BYOP): A Flexible Stand-Alone Distortion Analysis Prototype

Niranjan Venugopal, PhD (CancerCare Manitoba; University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada); Lumeng Cui, PhD (Siemens Healthineers); et al. developed a novel online software prototype which can provide automatic vivid visualization and quantitative evaluation of spatial distortion for both small and large grid-like phantoms.

JOB ALERT! SIOP Europe is looking for a research fellow working on radiotherapy quality assurance in #Pediatrics trials. Based in Brussels at EORTC HQ, you also get to work in a team of 6/8 pp, #RadOnc, #MedPhys & #RTT and see behind the scenes of a clinical trial. #QUARTET

I strongly implore my #medphys colleagues working towards their PhD in the @UChicagoMedPhys@twitter.com grad program to vote #UnionYes on Jan 31/Feb 1 with @uchicagogsu@twitter.com. A union contract would have made a world of difference for this student-parent. It could for you and for those who follow.

Thinking about attending the @aapmHQ@twitter.com Summer School in Minneapolis in June. #MedPhys folks who have attended previously, was it worth it?

I'm really enjoying this video from The Royal Society on five of the current mysteries of our Universe. These are the types of questions that got me interested in #Physics.

On top of wanting to know whether people were only made out of atoms, these questions fascinate me and drive me to explore nature around me. It's a strong reason why I studied #Biophysics and #MedPhys - to find out why we are here and to make #StarTrek happen for us, particularly the technology in the medical bay.

I really want to make our lives better. I think a strong understanding of how the universe actually works will help us get there. No superstitions required.

@lichtsignaal An excellent question, exactly why I went to university to study #physics and then #biophysics and medical physics (#MedPhys). I think I know the answer, and yes, there is what one can call the soul in all living things. This is intimately linked to the material nature of life and no longer exists without that material dynamic structure functioning.

A long twitter thread on #medphys, certification, medical physicists from LMICs and the need to establish robust pathways to the profession:

First post on mastodon! This channel will be largely sciencey stuff with #medphys #vetmed #artificialintelligence and #medicalimaging content

Dynamic PET imaging tracks the spatial and temporal pattern of radiotracer uptake to provide information that can’t be gained from conventional PET. Researchers in the Enger Lab at McGill University have designed a compact, cost-effective detector that could help increase the use of dynamic PET imaging beyond academic research centers.
