Automated detection of cerebral microbleeds on MR images using knowledge distillation framework

IntroductionCerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are associated with white matter damage, and various neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular diseases. CMBs occur as small, circular hypointense lesions on T2*-weighted gradient recalled echo (GRE) and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) images, and hyperintense on quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) images due to their paramagnetic nature. Accurate automated detection of CMBs would help to determine […]

The Brain’s GPS: Navigating Wrist Movement in Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Coordinates

Imagine your brain as a complex GPS, guiding your wrist movement in different coordinate systems. This study used brain imaging and connectivity analysis to compare how the brain processes intrinsic and extrinsic motor coordinates during wrist movements. Researchers found that the brain utilizes distinct networks for each coordinate system. The inferior parietal lobule receives extrinsic […]
