    Collapse Overview
    I am a Professor of Neurology and Radiology, Director of Imaging Technology Innovation in the Mark & Mary Stevens Neuroimaging & Informatics Institute, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California. I am also directing the Laboratory of Functional MRI Technology (LOFT)(www.loft-lab.org). During the past 20+ years, my research has been focused on the technical development and clinical translations of novel functional and physiological Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technologies, in particular noninvasive blood flow/perfusion imaging. I am a recognized expert in perfusion and functional MRI with extensive experience in clinical applications related to neurologic and psychiatric disorders as well as body organs. I have also been supporting the scientific community by disseminating arterial spin labeling (ASL) sequences to approximately 300 Siemens imaging research centers around the world. In addition to MRI, I have experience in the technical development and clinical applications of Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
