This episode highlights a study from Korea using deep learning to generate synthetic contrast-enhanced brain MRI images—without injecting contrast agents. The model accurately segmented the choroid plexus and matched real contrast-enhanced scans in volume analysis, offering a potentially safer, scalable tool for neuroimaging.

Automated synthetic contrast-enhanced MRI improves choroid plexus segmentation in Parkinsonian syndromes. Ambaye et al. Radiology Advances, 2025, 2(6), umaf042
