Jim Pipe

Jim Pipe is Professor and Director of Imaging Research at the Barrow Neurological Institute. He received four degrees at the University of Michigan - two in Electrical Engineering (BSE ’87, MSE ’89), and two in Bioengineering (MS ’89, PhD ’93). Dr. Pipe is a Fellow and recent President of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), for which he also chaired the 2012 Annual Meeting, four workshops on Data Sampling and Image Reconstruction, and an upcoming joint ISMRM/RSNA workshop on High-Value MRI. Dr. Pipe's research focuses on developing next-generation methods for MRI that have a real, positive impact on patient care. He is perhaps best known for his invention and development of PROPELLER, a method designed to remove the effects of patient motion during an MRI exam. His team is now building the infrastructure for next-generation methods in MRI, designed to greatly reduce exam times while increasing image robustness and consistency.
