Yongxia Zhou, Ph.D.

I'm a medical imaging scientist, specialized in MRI neuroimaging and neurosciences applications. I had completed my  Ph.D from University of Southern California in Biomedical imaging (2004) and had been trained and worked as neuroimaging scientists in several prestigious institutes including Columbia University, New York University and University of Pennsylvania. My research focuses on multi-modal neuroimaging including using MRI/PET and EEG instrumentation as well as the integration of these multi-modal to make the best usage of each modality and to help interpreting underlying co-existing pathophysiological for better disease diagnosis and treatment. My  specific interest in MRI technology includes brain mapping of blood flow, oxygen saturation and extraction fraction and metabolism as well as vascular reactivity assessment with BOLD and arterial spin labeling (ASL)-based blood flow measures. Thanks to help and support of family, colleagues and friends, I have published about 10 books and 5 book chapters, more than 100 papers and presentations in reputed international publishers, journals and conferences. I am also serving as reviewers for several journals and international conferences abstract including JMRI, JCBFM, PlosOne, NeuroImage, AJNR, HBM, ISMRM and ICAD.
