Thoracic
Image Analysis
Workshop

Prof. Reinhardt is one of the founders of the Pulmonary Image Analysis (PIA) workshop — originally known as the Lung Workshop — which was later renamed Thoracic Image Analysis (TIA) to foster more inclusive collaboration across cardiac and pulmonary imaging communities. He has remained active in organising and running the workshop throughout its history and was instrumental in supporting its reinstatement this year.

He holds the Roy J. Carver Chair in Biomedical Engineering at the Roy J. Carver Department of Biomedical Engineering. In addition to directing the Reinhardt Biomedical Imaging Lab, he is a member of the Iowa Institute for Biomedical Imaging and the Iowa Initiative for Artificial Intelligence.

He received his BS from Carnegie Mellon University, MS from Northeastern University, and PhD from Penn State University, all in Electrical Engineering. Before entering academia, he worked in industry as a radar systems engineer.

His research focuses on medical image processing with a special emphasis on pulmonary imaging, supported by the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust, and the Whitaker Foundation.

Together with colleagues from the University of Iowa, Prof. Reinhardt co-founded VIDA Diagnostics, an Iowa-based medical imaging software company specialising in computer-aided diagnosis and image-guided interventions for lung disease.
