Great opportunities opening up here!

[Gordon Center for Medical Imaging @MGHGordon]

The Gordon center started the new year with a new biological emphasis under new leadership: @MatthiasNahrend is our new director. Umar Mahmood will lead a technology-focussed sibling, the Center for Nuclear Medicine & Theranostic Sciences.

Excited to share that our group received another R01! A postdoc opportunity is available to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for liver fibrosis. Join us! https://t.co/lLlcSiKh3k https://t.co/hq9Le36IuN

Returning from a great #RSNA2023 and treated to this amazing moonrise while crossing the NY - Massachusetts border.

@BulteJeff Great Keynote!!!

[🇺🇦Peter Caravan🇺🇦 @PeterCaravan]

💯 come to Orleans next June for #MolecularMR, #HyperpolarizedMR, #CEST, #contrastAgents, #Multimodal, imaging metabolism and drug action

[Jeff Bulte @BulteJeff]

This will be a great meeting!

@rdavbritt There should be a poll associated with this post

Despite all that Gd, there were no histological signs of kidney damage. Would be worth testing if this is true in older rats or those with prior kidney injury. End

This paper from @Mariane_LeFur had 3 provocative findings. 1. Gadolinium retained in kidneys is invisible to T1w MRI until it is present at high 100s of micromolar. Gd is retained in kidneys at several orders of magnitude more than in brain. #Kidney 1/6

[Radiology @radiology_rsna]

Following administration of four different gadolinium contrast agents to healthy rats, mass spectrometry showed the highest concentration in the kidney cortex at day 17. @PeterCaravan @Mariane_LeFur @MGHMartinos @MGH_RI @i3MGH https://t.co/baZg0f62gG

3. At 7-8 weeks after dosing the gadolinium retained in the rat kidneys was intact chelate. This was true of all 4 compounds tested including the linear chelate gadobenate. 5/6

@AndreeaCatana7 Long overdue!

Is there any problem DOTA can’t solve?

Nice work from Phil and Iris and a great collaboration with Bryan Fuchs, Bob Colvin @MGHKidneys and @pfizer colleagues to image fibrotic disease activity in the kidneys

[JASN_News @JASN_News]

In most CKDs, lysyl oxidase oxidation of collagen forms allysine side chains, which then form stable crosslinks. This study shows MRI using Gd-OA is potentially a valuable tool for detecting and staging renal fibrogenesis https://t.co/UZeowVbWNi
