Wang, Danny Jiong Jiong - University of California, Los Angeles

个人简介

Dr. Wang is Professor of Neurology and Director of Imaging Technology Innovation in the Mark & Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California. He received Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), and postdoc training in the Departments of Radiology and Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center. He has been an Assistant Professor of Radiology and Neurology at UPenn, Associate and Full Professor of Neurology and Radiology at UCLA before joining USC in 2016. During the past 20 years, Dr. Wang’s research has been focused on the technical development and clinical translations of novel functional and physiological Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technologies, in particular noninvasive blood flow/perfusion imaging. He has been supporting the scientific community by disseminating arterial spin labeling (ASL) sequences to approximately 200 Siemens imaging research centers around the world. His recent research interests include developing novel neuroimaging methods to understand neuromodulation effects on the brain. In addition to MRI, Dr. Wang has research interests in the technical development and clinical applications of Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET).

研究领域

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) imaging using arterial spin labeling (ASL) ASL is a noninvasive technique to measure CBF by using magnetically labeled arterial blood water as an endogenous tracer. A main research direction at LOFT is development and translation of advanced ASL techniques. In particular, pseudo-continuous ASL (pCASL) with background suppressed (BS) 3D GRASE sequence showed great promise in perfusion imaging of acute stroke and brain tumor (Figs. 1-3, thumbnail link to Gallery). Pediatric perfusion imaging using ASL is a main area of applications and is funded by NIMH R01 and ARRA. In a pilot project funded by UCLA Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC), we are comparing ASL with positron emission tomography (PET) in mild cognitive impairment and early Alzheimer’s disease patients. Ongoing developments at LOFT include vessel-encoded ASL in chronic stroke and moya moya disease. We are also comparing ASL with dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion MRI and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in stroke patients.
