معرفی
Sagar Buch, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at Wayne State University School of Medicine. With over a decade of expertise in neuroimaging and advanced MRI quantitative techniques, Dr. Buch specializes in MRI physics, quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), focusing on cerebral microvasculature in aging, neurodegenerative diseases, and neurovascular disorders.
- Education: MASc (2012), PhD (2015) in Biomedical Engineering, McMaster University
- Former Roles: MR Research Consultant (Wayne State U, 2019-2022), MR Research Scientist (MRI Institute for Biomedical Research, 2015-2017), and Biomedical Engineer (S.L. Raheja Hospital, 2009)
Dr. Buch's research centers on developing high-resolution MRI protocols, including USPIO-based vascular imaging (MICRO project), which has redefined in vivo microvascular analysis in healthy and pathological conditions. His work addresses challenges in QSM reconstruction, such as modeling magnetic field perturbations and optimizing imaging of non-signal tissues like sinuses and teeth.
His publications highlight collaborations on vascular abnormalities in multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, using MRI to study hippocampal vasculature and white matter hyperintensities. Dr. Buch's awards include the Potchen–Passariello Award (2021) and ISMRM's Summa Cum Laude Award (2020).
