To whoever works in a PT university, FCT/FCCN has a platform that enables the use of different AI models without the common use limits: www.iaedu.pt/pt Now they have, gpt4o, o4mini, 4o with search and mistral large. Very nice to see this push in AI democratization, but I have some caveats. 1/4🧵

Great article discussing the use of AI in schools www.nature.com/articles/d41... I view tools like ChatGPT like the creation of the calculator or of the computer. They greatly simplified our work, but we need to understand them to work with them so that we can do more complex things in the end

It's on days like these when @awscloud.bsky.social is down that I realize: 1) how many websites rely on it 2) that we should be grateful for @waybackmachine.bsky.social 3) that in sensitive/critial scenarios, on premise solutions are better as you are not reliable/waiting on a third party to fix it

Anyone who works with MRI will tell you MRI scientists are very imaginative with naming. Some examples include: CAIPIRINHA and FIESTA (acquisition techniques) and FLIRT and MELODIC (analysis tools) just to name a few. And this week I just learned a new cool one 1/2🧵

After the long wait, GliMR gets together once again! 🎊 We are organizing a full day of activities for the Pre-Conference day of #ESMRMB25 on October 8th. 🌍 It will take place at Palais du Pharo in Marseille, France, from 9h-17h. Register now at esmrmb2025.mycongressonline.net

Last week, I attended the 2nd Annual Meeting of the #Net4Brain COST Action in Bucharest. It featured numerous multidisciplinary talks, ranging from liquid biopsies to MRI, all applied to brain cancer. It was a wonderful opportunity to (finally) see colleagues in person and to meet new ones.

Last week, I attended the @ismrm.bsky.social Annual Meeting in beautiful Honolulu, Hawai'i with my colleagues from @isrlisboa.bsky.social. There, I presented a pitch and a poster on my PhD work titled "Prediction of treatment response in a longitudinal glioblastoma dataset using deep learning".

Deep learning can help with glioblastoma prognosis. Ask your questions to @anamatoso.bsky.social at her power pitch and digital poster "Prediction of treatment response in a longitudinal glioblastoma dataset using deep learning". 13:50, Theater 1, computer 19.

GliMR will be at #ESMRMB25 In addition to joining us in the Precongress Day on October 8, make sure to submit your ESMRMB25 abstract to the GliMR ESMRMB Working Group to present your latest findings at the ESMRMB GliMR Session of ESMRMB25! Want to know how? See the🧵 Deadline is May 16, 17:00 CEST

We're happy to share the latest episode of CNN INOVAÇÃO, which showcases our activities at #ISRLisboa. 🦾 Get to know different groups and projects, from the voice of our team, motivated to bring forth the vision of this @istecnico.bsky.social research unit. 🙌 🔗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBkl...

After almost 1.5 years working on deep learning applied to medical imaging, a colleague of mine told me about this website that lets you create incredible figures of neural networks. Just comes to show how you never stop learning and how important it is to share your work alexlenail.me/NN-SVG/

Interested in ASL? Several GliMR members are organizing an amazing workshop! It will provide theoretical aspects of ASL and practical workshops on data processing and analysis using ExploreASL. You can find more details here: tinyurl.com/ASLLis. The workshop is free, but registration is required.

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

Very nice paper on how, in the race for SoTA results, it appears that we have fallen into a peculiar trap: only reporting the peak/average performance thus overlooking the variability of the results. I hope this paper becomes an eye-opener for those who work in AI in Healthcare. 🧵 1/3

Great interview on how we perceive AI and on the morality of using it for decision-making. As an engineer, I find it important (and refreshing) to listen to philosophers talking about this to be able to see it from a different lens Some favourite quotes in 🧵 www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Quero agradecer aos responsáveis pelo canal de youtube do @istecnico.bsky.social cujo trabalho tem aumentado de qualidade e tornado a democracia no técnico mais transparente e aberta. Exemplos como este vídeo são bem vindos e espero que no futuro mais divulgados www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m7T...

Very interesting work

Doing science is about perseverance, about showing up and not be deterred by bad outcomes and sometimes about building creative solutions. Thus, small wins should also be celebrated. Much like wordle, where today was a good day Wordle 1252 2/6 ⬛⬛🟩🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Does having a PhD make you a better politician? Voters in some countries seem to think so. But there is little evidence that the most-educated folk are more effective at governing econ.st/3CBGBBz

Boas notícias para quem usa as GIRA em Lisboa e gosta de uma aplicação rápida e responsiva. É pena que a EMEL não incorpore nenhum destes esforços open source no desenvolvimento da própria app

Criei uma lista com contas de organizações jornalisticas portuguesas para quem quiser ter um feed só com notícias de Portugal e/ou em Português Europeu. Sugestões são sempre bem-vindas! bsky.app/profile/did:...

So it's basically a raspberry pi with remote desktop, right?

Let's create an #MRI researcher starter pack! There are a couple that are neuroimaging-based, but not really the method development community. I started putting together a few profiles, but please spread the word and tell me who else to add. If there is already one, let me know! go.bsky.app/EVqd6pe

Some incredible images of the human brain using a 11.7T MRI scanner. It can do a T2* image with 0.19×0.19×1 mm3 resolution 🤯 Images like this make me think of the law of diminishing returns: is it worth replacing a 3T scanner with this one in the clinic? shorturl.at/M90aT

An important distinction needs to be made here. It's great that @bsky.app says they won't use our data to train GenAI (not to say they won't ever, but that's for another day). But this doesn't mean that other companies won't. Don't be fooled: every post is for sure being scrapped by somebody else.

Very insightful article on how judges selectively ignore outcomes of an AI algorithm unless it aligns with their decision Funny how they try to eliminate bias by adding a biased algorithm to a biased process, only for it to suffer from confirmation bias www.theverge.com/2024/10/30/2...
