Assistant Professor in Diagnostic Physics

Diagnostic Physics

Biography

Jason Ostenson, PhD, earned his master’s degree in medical physics from Columbia University, and his PhD in imaging science from the chemical and physical biology program at Vanderbilt University. In July 2023, he joined the UW Radiology Dept. Diagnostic Physics Section as Medical Physicist & in January of 2024 he became an Assistant Professor.

Dr. Ostenson’s research is focused on rapid quantitative magnetic resonance imaging methods and applications. He serves as a reviewer for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, and he is a member of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and the American Association of Physicists in Medicine.
