Michael Hoff, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor
Diagnostic Physics

Biography

Alongside his clinical responsibilities, Michael is also a MRI safety officer, teaches MRI Physics to UW, Virginia Mason, and Madigan Radiology residents, and gives sporadic lectures to other departments. He completed a CAMPEP-accredited Medical Physics PhD in 2012 at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, where he researched strategies for correction of artifacts in MRI stemming from magnetic field inhomogeneities. Prior to this degree, he obtained a CAMPEP-accredited Medical Physics Masters degree where he researched quantification of tissue hypoxia in mice using a biomarker detectable with fluorine MR spectroscopy.

Research Interests

Michael is interested in translational MRI research, specifically the correction of susceptibility/off-resonance and motion/flow artifacts.

Education
