Skin picking in PWS may be due to altered perception of internal body cues. Dr. Hall will use fNIRS brain imaging to measure brain activity before, during, and after skin picking in PWS to better understand what drives skin picking. https://hubs.la/Q02SyFPn0

Did you know that MRI machines sequentially samples responses of body tissue to a range of radio frequencies. This is why MRI is so slow -- brain scans can take upto an hour. Our new #ICML paper shows that RL can make scanning ~12x faster by selecting the RF to scan. The algorithm is called ASMR. It first learns a CNN-based classifier to predict pathologies from sparsely-sampled MR images. Then we can simply run PPO to select the next best frequency sample for the MR machine to select. The reward is performance of the classifier. On 6 out of 8 pathology classification tasks spanning the Knee, Brain, and Prostate MR scans, ASMR reaches within 2% of the performance of a fully sampled classifier while using only 8% of the full frequency space (aka k-space). We still have ways to go before ASMR can be incorporated in commercial MR machines - from scaling to multi-coil MR data and better using volumetric data. So we have open-sourced our code and RL setup for the community.

Good point! However, there's always a need because most MRI Quality Assurance protocols include at least a limited investigation of the geometric accuracy.

https://lnkd.in/drmdGmkA BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Phase imaging helps determine a lesion’s susceptibility. However, various inhomogenous phase patterns could be observed in the serial phase images of a lesion and render image interpretation challenging. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of differentiating cerebral microbleeds and calcifications from phase patterns in axial locations.
