We are proud to see outstanding research that involved MRI scans performed at the May-Blum-Dahl Technion Human MRI Research Center, published in NeurIPS2025, one of the leading international conferences in Artificial Intelligence.
The work, led by Prof. Aviv Tamar’s lab in close collaboration with Dr. Efrat Shimron, presents a fascinating proof-of-concept combining robotic palpation, tactile sensing, and MRI to learn clinically meaningful representations of soft tissue.
As part of this project, breast phantoms were scanned at our center, providing high-quality MRI data that enabled the integration of physical sensing and advanced AI methods.
Congratulations to the entire team on this innovative work and high-impact publication!
We are happy to support research at the interface of engineering, AI, and medical imaging, and to see such work reach top-tier venues!
