To enhance medical care through efficient consultation with radiologists of the highest available expertise.
Background
We are subspecialty radiologists with experience at leading, tertiary care, academic medical centers. Our enthusiasm for radiology, imaging technology, and quality care transcend the boundaries of institutions and business models.
What we do
We provide expert radiology consultation and professional services. We help build quality imaging services, but also provide personal radiology opinions.
Ideas we like
Medical Image Processing
The synthesis of medical image acquisition and principles of image contrast formation can yield powerful diagnostic tools. A classic example in MRI is automated fat-water separation, and myriad related strategies to quantify tissue fat content. A historical method is illustrated, where phase differences observed on dual-echo, gradient echo images are disambiguated by a region growing …
3D Isotropic fast spin echo imaging
We first promoted this idea over a decade ago, and it has caught on in only limited applications. While techniques need to be tailored to clinical applications. isotropic TSE is well suited as a comprehensive, high resolution evaluation of small parts in musculoskeletal imaging, where it may be the one application that leverages the full …
Quantitative Imaging
Expert image interpretation is predicated on knowledge and experience. The use of imaging as a biomarker in medical research could be empowered by leveraging methods and concepts that remove the subjectivity of image interpretation. For example, we have pioneered the use of muscle T2 maps, corrected for fat content, as a marker of active disease …
