ReproNim Talk about Neurodesk
I was recently invited to talk about Neurodesk in the ReproNim webinar. The recording of the talk is available here: The slides are available here:
Deep Learning
NeXtQSM—A complete deep learning pipeline for data-consistent Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping trained with hybrid data
Our latest work just got published in Medical Image Analysis: Deep learning based Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) has shown great potential in recent years, obtaining similar results to established non-learning approaches. Many current deep learning approaches are not data consistent, Read more…

Talk about Open Data and Neurodesk at MRItogether
This week I gave a talk about the Open Data ecosystem and how our open-source project https://NeuroDesk.org makes it very easy to access and publish open data. Here is the recording: Here are the slides:
Functional Imaging
Imaging of the pial arterial vasculature of the human brain in vivo using high-resolution 7T time-of-flight angiography
Our latest work is out in eLife: https://elifesciences.org/articles/71186 We show how small pial arteries can be targeted effectively with high-resolution in vivo MR imaging. The data is openly available (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/NR6GC) and may be used for building models of brain physiology. Read more…

TOMCAT dataset on Oracle Open Data
Oracle Cloud recently launched a platform to host scientific datasets and we uploaded our unique Hippocampus dataset (Towards Optimising MRI Characterisation of Tissue (TOMCAT) Dataset including all Longitudinal Automatic Segmentation of Hippocampal Subfields (LASHiS) data – ScienceDirect): https://opendata.oraclecloud.com/ords/r/opendata/opendata/details?data_set_id=28&bucket_name=TOMCAT&prefix=&clear=RR&session=610618357889967&cs=1o7GdDLNfm3PHWwxI2thFXrA8jHPcvjZCdFibkYYIPPofNfOuvVt8B6S0B7YTnzIOf6cDk9BXW5hSV9b8LmhoQA More background Read more…
Python
Combining conda and google colab
Sometimes it’s necessary to downgrade packages in google colab to restore compatibility with an older version (e.g. pytorch). One way of doing this is using conda within colab and a few tricks make this work. Here is the colab notebook: Read more…

QSMxT: Robust masking and artifact reduction for quantitative susceptibility mapping
Our article “QSMxT: Robust masking and artifact reduction for quantitative susceptibility mapping” was just published in MRM 🙂 In this article we developed an automated, scalable, and robust QSM workflow that starts from Dicom images and produces segmentations of regions Read more…

Neurodesk at the ANZ ISMRM reproducibility workshop
We had the fantastic opportunity to present the neurodesk project in today’s ANZ ISMRM reproducibility workshop. The 50 participants across Australia got to see the first live demo of the project and I am glad everything worked out and ran Read more…

Higher, faster, smaller: Pushing the limits of fMRI at ultra-high field
Today I had the pleasure of presenting in the fortnightly Melbourne Brain Centre Imaging Unit (MBCIU) seminar at the University of Melbourne. I took the opportunity to share some thoughts and insights about fast and high-resolution fMRI at 7T. This Read more…
