    Eugene Ozhinsky, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, University of California San Francisco. His main research interests are in the areas of machine learning for musculoskeletal imaging and MR-guided focused ultrasound therapy.

    He is working at the VA Advanced Imaging Research Center (VAARC, part of San Francisco Veterans Affairs Health Care System) on development and implementation of machine learning techniques for automated image processing, analysis, and prescription of musculoskeletal X-ray, MRI, PET, and CT images. The goal of this work is to improve care for the VA patient population by enabling precise diagnostics, prediction of disease progression, as well as response to therapy.

    As a Technical Director for Focused Ultrasound at the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, Dr. Ozhinsky is supporting clinical focused ultrasound treatments of patients with neurological and oncological conditions. His current research focuses on safely and effectively opening of blood-brain barrier to enable delivery of therapeutics to the brain.

    Dr. Ozhinsky has obtained his PhD in the UC Berkeley/UCSF Joint Graduate Program in Bioengineering. His dissertation work was on automated acquisition of brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy data.
