Pedro F. Ferreira, PhD

CMR Physicist
Royal Brompton Hospital, United Kingdom

Dr. Ferreira is a Senior MR Physicist at the Royal Brompton Hospital London and a Honorary Research Fellow at Imperial College London.

For the last 11 years, he focused his research on post-processing of in-vivo and ex-vivo cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI).

He published pioneering work demonstrating alteration of sheetlet orientation in disease which has since become a staple of many clinical cDTI studies, and contributed to the seminal study where measures of microstructural orientation were validated in a pre-clinical model.
