MRI · Methods, October 2026

  • Voxel-wise grey matter and its normative model

    deepmriprep preprocessing (brain extraction, tissue segmentation, registration, modulation, smoothing) and a voxel-wise normative model (A), step by step on one case.

    Slides
  • Regional brain volumes and their normative models

    FastSurfer segmentation, a regional normative model (B) and a dedicated model for T1 white-matter hypointensities (C), step by step on one case.

    Slides
  • FLAIR white matter: lesions, regions and normal-appearing tissue

    One lesion segmentation (LST-AI) and one white-matter parcellation (the bullseye) feeding three normative models: total lesion volume (D1), lesion volume per region (D2) and the signal of normal-appearing white matter (D3).

  • Introduction to using AI tools at UCSF

    A practical introduction to agentic AI for researchers: what it is, the PHI-safe tools available at UCSF (ChatGPT Enterprise and the Versa API), and worked examples with skills, Codex, and MCP connectors. Presented to the UCSF Brain Health Registry by Pedro Pinheiro-Chagas.
