‘Academic institutions are where most of the progress will be made in medical AI’

Stanford radiologist and director of the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Imaging (AIMI Center) Curtis Langlotz describes how he combines AI with medicine to improve care and how Stanford supports the development of high-quality medical AI tools.

Low-intensity ultrasound can boost the brain’s natural cleaning system to help improve brain function

The newly developed low-intensity, focused ultrasound technique can offer a drug-free and noninvasive way to clear neurotoxic debris from cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue - with clinical testing starting soon.

Stanford Radiology researchers create simple method for reviewing microscopic fibers

Microscopic fibers in tissue are critical for our understanding of disease, but they have been difficult to study. Researchers at Stanford Medicine have come up with an easy way to visualize them.

Electro-LEV: an electromagnetic device that sorts cells

Electro-LEV separates cells based on their density and magnetic susceptibility, offering a label-free and contact-free method to separate cells - live cells from dead cells, cancer cells from healthy cells - for research and further testing.

The Journey From an Innovative Concept to a Times 2025 Best New Invention

An at-home cervical cancer screening device originally conceptualized at Stanford by Dr. Avnesh Thakor has received an FDA breakthrough designation and is now named as a Times 2025 Best New Invention. 

New AI Monitoring Method Helps Convey When to Trust AI Predictions and When to Exercise Caution

The Ensembled Monitoring Model (EMM) framework helps assess and flag uncertainty in diagnostic predictions made by black-box medical AI systems.

RSL Postdocs Recognized with Prestigious Fellowships

RSL postdoctoral researchers have been honored for excellence in research and leadership through Siebel scholarships, a Banting fellowship, and a Propel scholarship.

Stanford Radiology Unveils Two New MRI Systems at Lucas Center

A two-year renovation culminates in the installation and unveiling of two next-generation MRI scanners at the Lucas Center for Imaging, expanding the MRI innovations available at Stanford Radiology.

Stanford RSL Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Concludes Summer 2025

Stanford RSL Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) brought together undergraduates and Stanford mentors for a summer of imaging research, collaboration, and scientific discovery.

Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Week

From trainees in MIPS to radiochemists in CRF and physicians in the Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging division, Stanford Radiology is recognizing those helping to shape the future of precision imaging and therapy by linking scientific discovery to patient care.

Two Simple MRI Metrics Can Improve Prostate Cancer Detection

Stanford Radiology researchers show that adding two routine prostate MRI metrics can improve the accuracy of clinically significant prostate cancer detection while reducing unneeded biopsies.
