Part II: Research, Teaching, and Clinical Contributions
A. Narrative report (500 words or less) of Research, Teaching, and Clinical Contributions.
Please focus primarily on the areas in which most of your time and effort is spent.
Clinical Contributions-
As a scientist in the GE Applied Science Lab (ASL) (2001-2008), my emphasis was on clinical
application of improved spatial and temporal resolution cardiac MRI techniques, in order to
visualize heart-chamber geometry, and visualize ablation lesions after Electro-Physiology ablation
procedures. As a result of these techniques, the number of cardiac MRI procedures at several
institutions (Mayo Clinic, MGH) increased by more than 300%. In addition, the 1 st tools to port
pre-operative MRI images into the EP operating room and register them to the operating-room
frame of reference, for use intra-operatively, were developed.
In support of emergency radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital (2001-2008), new
techniques were developed to allow for rapid assessment (

later applied to the construct of small (

E. Report of Clinical Activities
1. Description of clinical practice
Supported the departments of Radiology and Cardiology in the use of MRI for the diagnosis and
treatment of cardiac, neurological and prostate pathologies. Sites of practice are major academic
teaching hospitals (MGH, Brigham and Women’s).
2. Patient load
Focus is on use of MRI for the improved diagnosis of complex cases, including use of MRI for
tertiary and emergency care.
3. Clinical contributions
-Use of Cardiac MRI to detect Post-RF ablation necrosis (MGH)
-Use of Cardiac MRI to provide geometry of cardiac chambers (MGH/Brigham and Women’s)
-Use of Cardiac MRI in the Emergency room to detect acute infarction (MGH)
- Application of Arterial Spin Labeling for non-contrast detection of perfusion in acute stroke
(MGH)
-Application of diffusion MRI for improved tumor specificity (BWH)

-Application of motion-compensation for improved brain imaging of uncooperative, nonanesthetized
patients (Univ. California San Diego)
