@Crap. Strait of Hormuz conflict is now going to affect liquified helium supply which is going to be a problem for MRI machines.

Shoe BillTl;dr: Tourette Syndrome, MRI, probably not great.
Quite specific, I know; any kind of advice, from anyone who's dealt with this or with anything similar enough, would be greatly appreciated.
I have a neck MRI today; I also have Tourette Syndrome; my main motor tic is, of course, a neck/head twitch.
Is there anything I can do about this, other than or in addition to simply surpressing my tics?
Thank you.

Our paper about estimation of phase-pole-free images for parallel magnetic resonance imaging using nonlinear inversion is now online. This method finally solves an outstanding and annoying problem in this area in a rather elegant way.

CBC Nova ScotiaHalifax woman calling out NSH after 7-year wait for MRI appointment
A Halifax woman says enough is enough when it comes to long waittimes in the healthcare system. Jessica Leslie just got a call for her MRI appointment seven years after her specialist sent in a requisition.

March 2026 - A video (https://doi.org/10.1101/649822) of a brain MRI is slit-scanned with color dispersion and fed to the YOLO object recognition model. Activations in YOLO's 7th backbone layer are used to modulate alpha transparency and luminance in a 3D render of the slit-scanned video as a volume (of width x height x time). The accompanying music is made by injecting embeddings from the CLIP image description model running on the resulting video into the conditioning pathway of Facebook's MusicGen generative music model.

DahanI got an MRI earlier today to check out my liver; it was my first MRI. I didn't think there was anything too notable about the procedure itself, other than maybe the noise. I had heard that they were noisy, but that really is a lot of noise caused by electrons moving through a magnetic field.
The technology behind MRIs is pretty amazing though. Another imaging technique that's cool is optical coherence tomography, often used to get microscopic pictures of parts of the eye.
