Associate Professor
Johns Hopkins University
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
Ehud Schmidt is an MRI physicist (Technion BSc, Stanford PhD), and currently an Associate Professor of Medicine (Cardiology) at Johns Hopkins. Ehud was an MRI Physicist in Elscint and then at General Electric Healthcare. He subsequently heading GE Applied Science Lab’s Neurological, Cardiac and Interventional MRI groups from 2005-2008. Ehud worked for 16 years in Boston: MGH Cardiology (2001-2008) and BWH Radiology (2008-2017) on MRI-guided interventions in the head, spine, abdomen, pelvis and heart with Neurosurgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Interventional Radiology, Radiation Oncology and Cardiology.
Ehud moved to Johns Hopkins University in 2017 to work with Professor Henry Halperin (Cardiology) on human interventions for ablative treatment of cardiac arrythmia and with Professor Akila Viswanathan (Radiation Oncology) on human interventions for radiation-therapy (interstitial brachytherapy) of cervical cancer.
Most of Ehud’s projects combine novel hardware development which is combined with existing or new MRI pulse sequences. Ehud's groups, along with several collaborators in academia and industry, developed the first MRI-guided actively-tracked cardiac Electrophysiology lab, the first MRI-conditional 12-lead ECG system, the first MRI-conditional external cardiac defibrillation system, the first metallic MRI-conditional actively-tracked bracytherapy stylets, and the only metallic-reinforced actively-tracked electrophysiology catheters.
