The Art of Imaging<\/em> contest highlights how radiologists use art to reduce stress, inspire their work and celebrate anatomy<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re proud to share that Dr. Sahar Ahmed<\/strong>, Research Instructor in the Department of Radiology and a member of the BRIC Human Imaging Core, is featured in the Radiological Society of North America\u2019s (RSNA) recent article, Art as Medicine: Radiologists\u2019 Creative Outlet<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Dr. Ahmed\u2019s contribution, \u201cMindMap: The Intricate Connections of the Human Brain,\u201d<\/em> showcases how the beauty of scientific data can be transformed into art. Using structural and diffusion MRI data, she reconstructed brain surfaces, deep gray matter structures, and white matter tracts\u2014applying color and visual design to highlight the brain\u2019s complexity and elegance.<\/p>\n

In the feature, Dr. Ahmed reflects on how creativity and science share the same foundation: curiosity, critical thinking, and exploration. Her work illustrates the deep connection between imaging and art, showing how visualization not only advances research but also provides a meaningful creative outlet.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Dr. Ahmed for this recognition and for inspiring us all to see radiology as both a science and an art form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
