Vasily L. Yarnykh, PhD
Research Professor, Principal Investigator
Department of Radiology, University of Washington
Dr. Yarnykh is an expert in magnetic resonance physics and quantitative MRI methods. Dr. Yarnykh is an inventor of a number of widely used MRI technologies including several efficient blood signal suppression techniques for cardiovascular imaging, the actual flip-angle imaging method for fast and robust B1 field mapping, and the fast macromolecular proton fraction (MPF) mapping method for quantitative myelin imaging.
Dr. Yarnykh is an author of more than 70 peer-reviewed scientific articles, more than 100 abstracts and conference proceedings, and 5 US patents. Upon receiving a High-Impact Neuroscience Research Resource Grant from NIH in 2018, Dr. Yarnykh’s work is mainly focused on the development and widespread distribution of the MPF mapping technology as a uniform approach to quantify myelin in the central nervous system for clinical and pre-clinical research.
