Daniel K. Sodickson, M.D., Ph.D., is Director of the Center for Biomedical Imaging, Vice-Chair of research and Associate Professor of Radiology at the New York University School of Medicine. Dr. Sodickson received a B.S. in Physics and a B.A. in Humanities from Yale College. He earned his Ph.D. in Medical Physics from MIT and his M.D. from Harvard Medical School. In 1996-97, he introduced the SiMultaneous Acquisition of Spatial Harmonics (SMASH) technique, and he has been involved ever since in the ongoing development of parallel MRI, a
field that has revolutionized clinical MR imaging. He is a Fellow and Trustee of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), and a member of the editorial boards for both of the ISMRM’s journals. In 2006, he received the ISMRM’s highest honor, the Gold Medal, for pioneering scientific contributions to magnetic resonance in medicine and biology.
Stefan Sunaert, M.D., Ph.D., is Professor of Radiology at the University of Leuven, Leuven, Belgium. He heads a research group that investigates the functional and structural organization of the normal and pathological human brain by the combination of functional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging. He has published over 70 peer-reviewed international papers. He is section editor of the “Functional and Molecular Imaging” of the journal Neuroradiology, course director of the ESMRMB – School of
MRI on Clinical fMRI, and winner of the 2008 Outstanding Teaching Award of the ISMRM.
