Translating advanced imaging biomarkers into clinical practice to better characterize pediatric CNS tumors

[Aashim Bhatia @BhatiaLab]

The Bhatia Lab interest is focused on translating advanced quantitative imaging biomarkers (sodium MRI, chemical exchange saturation transfer, DTI, MRS, and MR elastography) into clinical practice to better characterize pediatric CNS tumors pre- and post-treatment

Had a fantastic coffee session on Wednesday where Dr. Michael LaRiviere presented on his current research ☕

Thank you everybody that attended in person and virtually!

I feel humbled to have matched at @EmoryMedicine - #radiology residency!
This milestone belongs just as much to my family and mentors @CHOPRadiology who shaped me into the person I am today. I am truly honored to begin this journey with the wonderful team at Emory! #Match2026

Honored to present Grand Rounds at @JeffersonHealth today! 🏥 Deep dive into our lab’s latest research on advanced spinal cord imaging & how it’s changing the game for clinical diagnostics. 🧬@BhatiaLab
Huge thanks to the faculty & residents for the engaging Q&A! #PediNeuroRad

Friendly competition and dinner at the F1 Arcade 🏎️🏁 Made great memories and not as great laps at our lab outing

[Aashim Bhatia @BhatiaLab]

Our post-doc Tyler Williams recently gave an amazing oral presentation at @The_ASPNR on the value of Sodium MRI in translational studies for pediatric brain tumors.

[Aashim Bhatia @BhatiaLab]

Had our monthly interdisciplinary Neuro-Onc coffee session today at CHOP ☕🍪

Dr. Bhatia introduced the (many) projects in the lab and offered (many) choices of coffee...Stay tuned for February's speaker ❄️

"The sodium signal in pediatric brain tumors is reflective of the cellular physiology of neoplastic cells in the tumor microenvironment. Here we present detailed imaging approaches to quantifying sodium concentrations in the pediatric brain that can be assessed in various CNS pathologies."
