04.28.2026A procedure designed to reopen blocked veins successfully reduced pain, swelling and disability in people with post-thrombotic syndrome — a common and often debilitating complication of deep vein thrombosis — according to results of a clinical trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
11.17.2025Northwestern Medicine investigators have developed a new imaging approach to more accurately assess blood flow in the spinal cord, a method that could be used to better inform treatment for neurological diseases and injuries, as described in a recent study published in Scientific Reports.
10.17.2025Minimally invasive endoscopic surgery may be an effective and safe treatment for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, the most severe type of stroke, according to results from a recent clinical trial published in JAMA Neurology.
05.16.2025The International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) is one of the most prestigious AI conferences globally, ranking among top journals such as Nature Medicine, JAMA, Cell, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. PhD student Bin Wang of the Bagci lab had a paper accepted for this conference which he presented in April: “Order-aware interactive segmentation, to explicitly integrate missing relative depth information into 2D interactive segmentation.”Wang’s algorithm enables people to interactively segment 2D images. Previous algorithms would often capture parts of an image that were peripheral to the targeted object, requiring considerable work to filter out what wasn’t wanted. Bin’s work utilizes information no one had explored before to find the relative distance between objects in an image and isolate the targeted body.The algorithm also creates a higher resolution image that shows many more details than current algorithms. Such a breakthrough has global applications in the medical field and in any industry that needs to isolate still images or images in videos.Bin Wang is a third-year PhD student in electrical and computer engineering, supervised by Dr. Ulas Bagci. He earned his B.Eng. degree in computer science from ShanghaiTech University.The ICLR is a premier learning conference that requires evidence of multiple experiments that demonstrate the effectiveness of an algorithm.We congratulate Bin on this stellar achievement!
03.27.2025IR Quarterly features interim results of the Frontier trial studying yttrium-90 (Y-90) for glioblastoma of which Sam Mouli is the principal investigator. This microsphere therapy may lead to new IR treatment options for glioblastoma. The abstract, by Dr. Mouli and his team, was recognized as the SIR 2025 Abstract of the Year.
10.31.2024Northwestern Medicine's Faculty Profiles feature Dr. Dong-Hyun Kim's work enhancing the effectiveness of cryoimmunotherapy in treating cancer.
10.12.2024The AAR (Association of Academic Radiology)/AMSER published an online case of the month featuring work by Alexander Nemeth. He worked with Dr. Judith Gadde of Lurie Children's Hospital and a UIC medical student who is doing a rotation at Northwestern.
