Vivek Muthurangu is Professor of Cardiovascular Imaging and Physics at UCL ICS. He is also the Head of the Research Department of Children’s Cardiovascular Disease which incorporates all ICS researchers based at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). As lead for the Centre of Translational Cardiovascular Imaging, he has established a team of physicists, engineers, computer scientists and clinicians that have pioneered the development of new imaging technologies that have had real clinical impact. For instance, through the development of ultra-rapid imaging it was possible to almost triple the number of cardiac MRI scans performed at GOSH with no increase in staff or infrastructure. Recently, he has been at the forefront of developing Machine Learning (ML) techniques to further speed up MRI, reduce post-processing burden, massively accelerate computational fluid dynamics, and enable autonomous robotic catheterisation. Professor Muthurangu is also the programme director of the 4-year BHF PhD programme at UCL.
