Biography
Dr. Qin joined UW in April 2025 from Johns Hopkins University, where he pursued MRI research following graduate school. As an MR physicist, he has made substantial contributions on developing, validating, and translating non-contrast enhanced MRI methods for MR angiography (MRA) and arterial spin labeling (ASL) based mapping of blood flow, blood volume, and oxygen metabolism. His current research projects aim to advance rapid, quantitative, and multiparametric MRI protocols, standardize pulse sequences, achieve harmonization across vendors, and promote their clinical applications across diverse body regions and disease conditions.
