In addition, together with clinical partner Dr. He also implemented the first clinically viable protocol for fiber tracking. He was co-author on the first clinical paper on the application of SENSE parallel imaging. His most cited publication has more than 1000 citations and his h-index is 25. His research – also in other fields (including lung and breast imaging) – resulted in numerous product improvements and 70 well cited peer-reviewed publications.

The main responsibilities of his team are to ensure the quality of collaborative research projects in the region and to report on the specific needs of Asia Pacific radiologists and their patients, so that these can be reflected in new product designs.Īs a researcher, his main contributions are in the co-development of clinical applications for SENSE and several diffusion weighted based techniques, especially the DWIBS technique. He currently holds the position of Director of Clinical Science for Asia Pacific and is located in Tokyo.

He began as the only clinical scientist but has since established a highly qualified team of experts who work across the region. He joined Philips Medical Systems in 1996 with the aim of setting up an MR clinical science operation in Japan and then in the whole of Asia Pacific. His doctoral thesis discussed the use of spectral editing techniques and adiabatic pulses on clinical systems.
