Daniel Herzka

Daniel Herzka is an Associate Professor at the Department of Radiology, School of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University. His research focuses on high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging, quantitative cardiovascular MRI, and cardiac magnetic resonance fingerprinting. Herzka develops innovative MRI techniques for in vivo neurography and cardiovascular applications, including interventional MRI and low-field MRI systems.

• Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (2004)
• Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University (1999)

Professional affiliations include membership in the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (SCMR), Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention Society, and American Heart Association (AHA). Herzka's research has produced significant publications in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, and Radiology, primarily focusing on cardiac imaging, low-field MRI, and interventional radiology.

His recent work explores accelerated T2 mapping, low-rank reconstruction, and cardiac interventional devices. Herzka's scientific contributions span MRI physics, sequence optimization, and clinical translation of imaging technologies. Key collaborators include researchers from National Institutes of Health, Johns Hopkins University, and University Hospital Bonn.
