What a way to end 2024, learn about Sodium MRI in Pediatric Brain Tumors

https://t.co/eSO3P785FC

Here we present detailed imaging approaches to quantifying sodium concentrations in the pediatric brain that can be assessed in various CNS pathologies, with the focus of this paper on pediatric brain tumors. 🧂🧠

Tremendous work by the Bhatia Lab @BhatiaLab and collaborators Drs. Cassie Kline, Peter J Madsen, Michael J Fisher, Fernando E. Boada, Timothy P.L. Roberts

Also big thanks to the Program in Advanced Imaging Research led by @TimRoberts_Phl

It is always rewarding to see past insights highlighted. 🧠 I'm looking back at my previous article on AI in pediatric neuroradiology alongside the freshly released "AJNR Pediatric Special Collection | American Journal of Neuroradiology.pdf".
The latest list of papers reinforces where the horizons are heading.

[Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation @AlexsLemonade]

At 8 years old, our founder Alex Scott wanted to raise $1 million to give “her doctors” so they could find cures for kids fighting cancer, like her. Her determination inspired others to take their stand for the cause, and they helped her reach $1 million with lemonade stands before she passed away from her cancer in 2004.

Every year since, supporters who hold lemonade stands during Lemonade Days continue to raise millions and much more!

This June, become part of the movement making a difference for kids with cancer! https://t.co/HlTttFcd1l

Excited to share the new co-authored paper: "Generative AI for spatial tumor growth on MRI: a proof-of-principle study in pediatric diffuse midline glioma." 🧠💻
We explore how generative AI can model complex spatial tumor progression on MRIs, aiming to advance how we visualize and approach treatment for pediatric DMG.
Huge thanks to the incredible team involved! Check out the full study here: https://t.co/dgZo7w2ZFy

Help us celebrate the stand that started it all on June 6: Alex's "Original" Lemonade Stand! 🎗️🦋

Fashioned after the first lemonade stand Alex had for kids with cancer, this annual event combines block party, field day, and charity with lots of food, games, crafts, raffles, races, and sweet lemonade sips to enjoy! You won't want to miss the beautiful butterfly release to commemorate and celebrate the lives of all children affected by cancer either, so come join the fun for all ages.

Share this post to raise awareness for kids with brain tumors during #braintumotawarenessmonth. 🎗️

Did you know that a decade ago, brain tumors became the leading cause of childhood cancer death while survival rates for the most common forms of leukemia improved to nearly 90%? Treatment options for childhood brain tumors have advanced, but survival rates remain below 10% for some fast-growing high-grade tumors.

This is why research is so important. If progress is possible in leukemia, it is possible in brain tumors. And you can help.
