Michael Gach, Ph.D.

Director, Imaging Research

Dr. Gach performs research in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiological physics. His research focus is in quantitative hemodynamics including blood flow dynamics, perfusion, and diffusion. He has expertise in neurological imaging and measurement of cerebral blood flow and renal perfusion using arterial spin labeling. He has expertise in pulse sequence programming, ultra-fast image acquisition, and image processing.

He is also performing research in respiratory modeling and real-time motion correction. In 2008, Dr. Gach began a research program in nanoparticles and nanofluids including their bioelectromagnetic properties, their use in drug and hyperthermia therapeutic delivery, and imaging.

Dr. Gach is a member of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), the American College of Radiology (ACR), and the Society for Neuroscience (SfN). He has collaborations with, and appointments at, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Nevada School of Medicine (UNSOM), and the Icelandic Heart Association. He also works closely with the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health (CCLRCBH).
