Dr. Sodickson is Vice-Chair for Research in the Department of Radiology at NYU Langone Health, Professor of Radiology and Physiology & Neuroscience at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, and Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering.\u00a0 He is a Fellow of the US National Academy of Inventors, and a Distinguished Investigator of the Academy for Radiology and Biomedical Imaging Research.\u00a0 Marshalling the complementary skills of clinicians, basic scientists, and, of course, formidable MR technologists\/radiographers, he has led a transformation of imaging research at NYU Langone, earning the department\u2019s Center for Advanced Imaging Innovation and Research (CAI2<\/sup>R) a designation as a US Biomedical Technology Resource Center.\u00a0 Dr. Sodickson\u2019s research aims at seeing what has previously been invisible, in order to improve human health. The multidisciplinary team that he leads seeks to develop a new paradigm of rapid continuous comprehensive imaging, taking advantage of complementary tools in image acquisition and reconstruction, including parallel imaging, compressed sensing, and artificial intelligence.\u00a0 In 2006, Dr. Sodickson was awarded the Gold Medal of the ISMRM for his foundational work on parallel MRI, which circumvented previous limits on imaging speed, and he recently completed a term as ISMRM president.\u00a0 He has subsequently launched a new institute \u2013 Tech4Health \u2013 designed to bring emerging technologies such as continuous sensing and artificial intelligence to biomedicine.<\/p>\n

Dr. Sodickson has a long history as an admirer, supporter, and fellow traveler of the ISMRT.\u00a0 The first committee he chaired as a new ISMRM Board member was, in fact, the Committee on Affiliated Sections, whose principal concern is the ongoing well-being of the ISMRT.\u00a0 He has delivered educational lectures at various regional ISMRT meetings, as well as at the 2014 Annual Meeting in Milan.\u00a0 He remembers with particular fondness a trip with his daughter, Hannah, to Sydney in 2013, for the Annual ANZ Chapter Meeting \u2013 a meeting which, more than anything he ever did, cemented Hannah\u2019s impressions of the imaging community as a warm and vibrant international family.\u00a0 Throughout his time in ISMRM leadership, Dr. Sodickson worked closely on educational and strategic initiatives with members of the ISMRT leadership. He is convinced that these initiatives are ever more important, as our field and our world enter a new era of disruptive innovation.\u00a0 Ever the human face of a too-often behind-the-scenes specialty, radiographers and technologists will remain at the very heart of the vast and ever-evolving human endeavor we know as medical imaging.<\/p>\n<\/div>
