Andrew McCawley Schmidt
Life Science Research Professional 1, Rad/Musculoskeletal Imaging
Bio I received my B.S. in Bioengineering from Santa Clara University. At SCU I also minored in Mechanical Engineering, conducted research in microfluidics, and played on the SCU Men's Rugby Team. I completed my M.Eng at the University of British Columbia in Biomedical Engineering. During and post graduate school at UBC, I conducted research at the Centre for Hip Health and Mobility (CHHM) under Dr. David Wilson. My research at UBC was focused on osteoarthritis investigation using the CHHM Upright, Open MRI. My current work involves designing methods for early detection of osteoarthritis through novel medical imaging techniques and biomechanics under Dr. Garry Gold.

Kawin Setsompop
Associate Professor of Radiology (Radiological Sciences Laboratory) and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
Bio Kawin Setsompop is an Associate Professor of Radiology and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering. His research focuses on the development of novel MRI acquisition methods, with the goal of creating imaging technologies that can be used to help better understand brain structure and function for applications in Healthcare and Health sciences. He received his Master?s degree in Engineering Science from Oxford University and his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT. For the last decade, prior to joining Stanford in 2020, he led a research group at Harvard/MIT that pioneered a number of widely used MRI acquisition technologies. A number of these technologies have been successfully translated into FDA-approved software products that are being used daily on MRI scanners across the world, in both the clinical and neuroscientific fields.

Rajesh Shah
Clinical Associate Professor, Radiology
Bio I am an interventional radiologist with a particular interest in interventional oncology. I perform a wide range of procedures including ablations of the lung, liver, kidney, bone, and other areas in the body, chemoembolization, embolization, and radioembolization of tumors, biopsies, drainages, and interventions on both the venous and arterial sides. I was the first physician to perform SIR-spheres radioembolization for metastatic tumors to the liver within the VA hospital system, and have been recognized for my teaching of trainees. I am currently the Director of Interventional Radiology and Associate Chief of Radiology at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. My research focuses on HCC and Lung cancer, including the application of Machine Learning/AI and Radiogenomics to lung cancer identification. I also work on Quality in Medicine as the Chair of the Quality and Performance Improvement Division for the Society of Interventional Radiology where we work to define quality measures, gather data via a national IR registry, and develop practice improvement tools.

Assistant Professor of Radiology (Body MRI) at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My interests are in the development and translation of imaging technologies geared toward disease detection and characterization to better guide prognosis, treatment, and improve outcomes. I?m interested in supporting the development of MRI guided focal therapy methods which can personalize treatment and reduce the risk of morbidity from more invasive therapies.
Clinical Interests
- MRI for diagnosis of pelvic floor disorders
- MRI and PET/MRI to pelvic malignancies and lymph node staging.
- Whole Body MRI
- MRI guided procedures including biopsies, cryoablation, and high intensity focused ultrasound.
Translational Research Interests
- Development and translation of magnetic resonance imaging technologies to improve both diagnostics and therapeutics
- Molecular imaging and characterization of the tumor microenvironment
- Ultrashort echo time MRI applications in the body
- Developing synergistic MRI methods to complement PET in potential applications for PET/MRI -
Peyman Shokrollahi
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Radiology
Bio Dr. Shokrollahi is a research scholar at the Department of Radiology, with a research focus on developing an artificial intelligence system for preimage protocols on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT) scans. He completed his PhD at the University of Toronto (UofT) in Biomedical Engineering before moving to the Radiology Department in 2020. He earned his master's and a bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. His research focused on developing magnetically actuated devices, MRI-compatible surgical robots, and machine learning techniques for medical applications. He developed and implemented a magnetically actuated microrobot for sampling microbiome in the gastrointestinal tract, an MRI-compatible robot for pediatric bone biopsy, and an automated system for detecting eye movements during sleep. In addition to research, Dr. Shokrollahi taught four courses at the undergraduate and graduate level at UofT and Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada. He is a member of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.

Geoffrey Sonn
Assistant Professor of Urology and, by courtesy, of Radiology at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My interest is in improving prostate cancer diagnosis through MRI and image-targeted prostate biopsy. In collaboration with radiologists at Stanford, we are working to define the optimal role of MRI in prostate cancer. We hope to improve cancer imaging to the point that some men with elevated PSA may safely avoid prostate biopsy. For those who need biopsy, we are evaluating novel MRI-US fusion targeted biopsy, a technique that greatly improves upon the conventional biopsy method.
