Can statistics be fun? You might find it hard to believe, but I had a blast giving this talk on #statistics of quantitative MR methods at the latest @ismrm.bsky.social conference. And judging from the reactions, people had fun too. Have a look: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZTT...

Today, my dear friend and colleague Jessie made me the most thoughtful present for my birthday: a handmade cross-stitch of the #dafne logo. It was really something special!
I feel so lucky, to have such a wonderful group.

Nowadays, #AI can solve virtually any problem in ways that are elegant, effective, and wrong.

What many don't understand is that #DEI *is* meritocracy. The next Einstein could be white, black, woman, poor, rich, or trans, and we don't want to pass on them just be caused those who rise to the top are 80% white dudes.

I really like this article about #AI for #MRI acceleration. There is a dramatic lack of evidence that AI products actually help in the clinical practice. It's easy to make pretty images, but are they useful at all?

Academia is hard for everyone. But for many, for instance women, it is unnecessarily harder.

After crying "AGI!" for years, #OpenAI's next model is yet again just an incremental improvement, at the cost of ridiculous computational power. This is not the way, and all the announcements are just hype to inflate the bubble.

Too many papers are written on AI tools for medical imaging from a computer science perspective and without the clinical application in mind.

European Radiology @europeanradiology.bsky.social · Feb 13

This highlights the importance of stakeholder involvement and the impact of disease prevalence when evaluating AI tool effectiveness.

Hi! We don't know each other, but we are in the same community, ended up following you by chance here on bsky, saw that you write sci-fi and bought your book recently. Halfway through it and enjoying it a lot! I like the narration from different perspectives!
