The MGH Martinos Center is committed to developing new imaging technologies and to bringing these de

A joint center of the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences & Technology and the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Radiology, the Martinos Center's dual mission includes translational research and technology development. The core technologies being developed and used at the Center are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS), magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalograpy (EEG), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and diffuse optical tomography (DOT), positron emission tomography (PET), electrophysiology, molecular imaging, and computational image analysis. A particular area of innovation at the Center is multimodal functional neuroimaging. Major areas of research at the Center include: psychiatric, neurologic and neurovascular disorders; basic and cognitive neuroscience; cardiovascular disease; and cancer. With an extensive inventory of state-of-the-art imaging facilities and a world-class team of investigators and collaborators, the Martinos Center is leading the way to new advances and applications in biomedical imaging.

The Center's Anastasia Yendiki, PhD, has secured a five-year, $24 million grant to map the wiring of the human brain in unprecedented detail. Here, Mass General's "Advances in Motion" delves into the work, in which Dr. Yendiki and colleagues will combine data from cutting-edge microscopy and Mass General's one-of-a-kind MRI scanning capabilities with machine learning to map the brain connectome. https://bit.ly/41jAYQO

Members of the Martinos community gathered yesterday to say goodbye to the Center's original 7T scanner. Installed more than 20 years ago, the scanner was the first-ever ultrahigh-field MR system built on a clinical platform. Researchers used it to produce all kinds of amazing science over the years, but when one of its compressors recently stopped working, Center leadership decided it was finally time to let it go.

Every ending is a new beginning, though. The Center has already broken in a Terra 7T FDA-approved scanner, which is continuing the tradition of providing unprecedented insights into the inner workings of the human body. And the retirement of the original 7T will clear the way for yet more advanced MR technology. We'll keep you posted as we learn more.
