Diffusion Imaging in Python

Ever seen the Handbook of Diffusion MR Tractography by Flavio Dell'Acqua, Maxime Descoteaux & Alexander Leemans 📖🔬
We’re beyond excited about this new book! The depth of topics covered is truly impressive, making this an invaluable resource in dMRI! Many of these methods available in the book are implemented in DIPY, and it’s incredible to see the field expanding with so many groundbreaking applications. 🚀🧠

Congratulations to Daniel Rückert, Professor of #AI in #Medicine and #Healthcare, on receiving the Gottfried Wilhelm #LeibnizPreis 2025, endowed with 2.5 million euros by the German Research Foundation, for his research in AI-assisted #medicalimaging: go.tum.de/773393 👏

I'm really pleased I was able to gain cooperation for wearing an #ElastomericRespirator for each of these three #MedicalImaging #scans.

I hope these experiences also help #radiology technicians and #radiologists be aware that #patients may be able to be supported successfully in this way.

Hope the above was helpful for other folks. 🙂

Also, in each of these interactions I was able to:

- explain why I did not want to remove the #ElastomericRespirator if at all possible

- list the brand, materials, and general mechanics of my #respirator

- be willing to switch to some other N95 they might have on hand if mine won't work

- discuss the above politely and cooperatively, noting that I'm just a patient and no expert in #MedicalImaging, just a reasonable guess that it *should* be possible

Some things to consider that may complicate matters:

- technicians willingness to try (or also perhaps policies they may be required to follow regardless)

- relative size of patient + respirator and equipment tolerances (eg: MRI dimensions)

- other issues related to specific models of equipment (just a guess: I'm a #patient, not a #radiologist … I have no idea whether everything is completely standardised)

So, in summary: it is DEFINITELY POSSIBLE to get good-quality #MedicalImaging with the #pt wearing a #metal-free #ElastomericRespirator.

A metal-free elastomeric respirator can be worn with:

- #xrays
- #CTscans
- #MRIs

Likely Jan Lukas

Again, the technicians were able to check on the #MRI #imaging quality ASAP and everything was fine, so we continued the full #scan, which was ~40 minutes, IIRC.

The #MRI's brain receiver coil isn't super-tight to the head, but it also isn't overly-generous.

The concerns here were whether the #ElastomericRespirator would fit under the coil, in addition to concerns it might generally mess with the quality of the #MedicalImaging.

Finally, earlier today I had to have an #MRI with contrast. Unlike the #esophagram and #CTscan, an MRI does NOT use radiation.

For those other scans, metal can interfere with an image being taken by blocking the #xrays.

But the M in MRI stands for #magnetic, so the problem here is with metal and magnets being incompatible with #MedicalImaging.

16/x

Likely Jan Lukas

A few months' later, I had a #CTscan.

Again, metal will interfere with the #MedicalImaging and again, the technicians were initially uncertain if what I was wearing would work.

They agreed to give it a try but warned me I might have to remove it if they couldn't get clear images.

Again, just like the #esophagram #xray, the #CTscan was fine. 🙂

15/x

Likely Jan Lukas

Using my #QuickLatch respirator and judicious #BreathHolding, I was able to get each liquid/food/texture sample for the #esophagram into me with minimal exposure to unfiltered air around me to do the testing.

And the #ElastomericRespirator DID NOT INTERFERE with the #xrays for the necessary #imaging.
