Irvin Teh, PhD

Senior Research Fellow
University of Leeds, United Kingdom

Irvin Teh, PhD, Senior Research Fellow, University of Leeds, UK.

Dr. Teh is an MR physicist who leads a group focused on developing advanced diffusion MRI methods for microstructural characterization of the heart. Dr. Teh obtained his PhD in MRI Physics at Imperial College London, UK. He then took up a postdoctoral appointment at the Agency for Science Technology and Research, Singapore, and subsequently at the University of Oxford, UK. He is now a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, and the MRI Lead for the Experimental and Preclinical Imaging Centre (ePIC).

Dr. Teh’s research in cardiac diffusion MRI spans the preclinical and clinical setting, with a strong focus on the translation of demanding techniques, such as oscillating gradient spin echo, b-tensor encoding, and q-space trajectory imaging, in the heart. These cutting-edge methods offer potential new biomarkers for myocardial tissue characterization with greater specificity than existing methods. This technical development is complemented by validation using independent imaging techniques, such as synchrotron radiation imaging, validation using phantoms simulating the heart microstructure, and application in relevant patient cohorts. Dr. Teh is a keen advocate for collaborative research and co-chairs the SCMR Cardiac Diffusion Special Interest Group and the SCMR-ISMRM Co-Provided Workshop 2025 on Cutting Edge Imaging of Cardiac Microstructure, Motion and Strain.
