Xiaodong Zhong, PhD

Associate Professor
University of California Los Angeles

Xiaodong Zhong, PhD is an Associate Professor of Radiological Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). His research focuses on the design and development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) solutions including pulse sequence, data reconstruction and image processing techniques, and translation of these techniques to advance clinical and research applications. He was a lead developer for the Siemens product LiverLab MRI package for fat and iron quantification. He is one of the early researchers in the field of MR strain imaging and developed several strain imaging pulse sequences, including the 2D breath-hold and 4D free-breathing spiral displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) techniques. He was among the first to publish papers on the measurement of displacement, strain, and mechanics in various organs such as the heart, vessel, brain and skeletal muscle. The current research of his lab focuses on developing translational MRI techniques for cardiovascular and abdominal diseases, such as biomechanical measurement using motion-encoded imaging, and fat and iron quantification.
