Career Sketch: Dr. Oshinski is well known for his collaborative efforts between Emory and Georgia Tech’s Department of Biomedical Engineering, along with his dedication to advancing the technologies of MR imaging. One area of concentration is the development of Cardiovascular MRI for clinical and basic science applications. Dr. Oshinski has worked on development of the contrast-enhanced MRA and phase-contrast MR for rapid assessment of the aorta and the peripheral runoff vessels. He also Implemented SSFP cine imaging for rapid breath-hold assessment of cardiac function, IR recovery sequences for myocardial perfusion imaging, and creating a protocol for using MR coronary angiography to diagnose the proximal course of the coronary arteries.
The research and educational focus of Dr. Oshinski, has opened many opportunities for him to share his knowledge through lectures and Visiting Professorships on national and international levels.
