Kawin Setsompop
Associate Professor of Radiology (Radiological Sciences Laboratory) and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
BioKawin Setsompop is an Associate Professor of Radiology and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering. His research focuses on the development of novel MRI acquisition methods, with the goal of creating imaging technologies that can be used to help better understand brain structure and function for applications in Healthcare and Health sciences. He received his Master’s degree in Engineering Science from Oxford University and his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT. Prior to joining Stanford, he was a postdoctoral fellow and subsequently a faculty at the A.A. Martinos center for biomedical imaging, MGH, as well as part of the Harvard and MIT faculty. His group has pioneered several widely-used MRI acquisition technologies, a number of which have been successfully translated into FDA-approved clinical products on Siemens, GE, Phillips, United Imaging and Bruker MRI scanners worldwide. These technologies are being used daily to study the brain in both clinical and neuroscientific fields.

Vipul Sheth, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Radiology (Body MRI)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy interests are in the development and translation of imaging technologies geared toward disease detection and characterization to better guide prognosis, treatment, and improve outcomes. I’m interested in supporting the development of MRI guided focal therapy methods which can personalize treatment and reduce the risk of morbidity from more invasive therapies.
Clinical Interests
- MRI for diagnosis of pelvic floor disorders
- MRI and PET/MRI to pelvic malignancies and lymph node staging.
- Whole Body MRI
- MRI guided procedures including biopsies, cryoablation, and high intensity focused ultrasound.
Translational Research Interests
- Development and translation of magnetic resonance imaging technologies to improve both diagnostics and therapeutics
- Molecular imaging and characterization of the tumor microenvironment
- Ultrashort echo time MRI applications in the body
- Developing synergistic MRI methods to complement PET in potential applications for PET/MRI -
Bruno Passebon Soares, MD
Associate Professor of Radiology (Pediatric)
BioDr. Soares is an Associate Professor of Radiology at Stanford University School of Medicine and serves as the Section Chief of Pediatric Neuroradiology at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford since June 2023.
Born in Brazil, Dr. Bruno P. Soares obtained his medical degree from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and completed his residency in Diagnostic Radiology at the Federal University of Sao Paulo. After one year as a Research Fellow at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), Dr. Soares completed clinical fellowships in Diagnostic Neuroradiology, Pediatric Radiology, and Pediatric Neuroradiology at UCSF, in addition to a clinical fellowship in PET/CT at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute of Harvard Medical School in Boston. Dr. Soares holds a subspecialty certificate in Neuroradiology from the American Board of Radiology (ABR).
From July 2013 to July 2016, Dr. Soares was an Assistant Professor in the Division of Neuroradiology at Emory University in Atlanta. From August 2016 to November 2018, he worked at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Pediatric Radiology and Neuroradiology. From December 2018 to May 2023, Dr. Soares worked at the University of Vermont Medical Center as Associate Professor of Radiology, Division Chief of Neuroradiology, Vice-Chair of Imaging Research, and Co-Director of the MRI Center for Biomedical Imaging.
Dr. Soares has published more than 85 peer-reviewed articles and has been the recipient of the Research Fellow Grant from the Society for Pediatric Radiology and of the Rad_Britestar Award from the Johns Hopkins Department of Radiology. The recognition for his teaching includes the 2013 Outstanding Clinical Fellow / Instructor Teaching Award from the UCSF Department of Radiology, the 2017 Teacher of Year Award from the Johns Hopkins Division of Pediatric Radiology, and the 2017 ASNR International Outreach Professor Program in Ghana.
Dr. Soares currently serves as an Editorial Board Member of Neuroradiology and of the Journal of Neuroimaging, and has served as an Editorial Board Member of the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR) and of the American Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR). Dr. Soares served for six years as a member of the ABR Neuroradiology Core Exam Committee, receiving ABR Volunteer Service Awards in 2022 and 2024.
His research has focused on neonatal and pediatric brain imaging. He is currently focused on developing semi-automated algorithms to quantify normal and abnormal brain development, and applying deep learning algorithms for detection of subtle cerebral abnormalities in children with epilepsy. -
Hyongsok Tom Soh
Professor of Radiology (Early Detection), of Electrical Engineering, of Bioengineering and, by courtesy, of Chemical Engineering
BioDr. Soh received his B.S. with a double major in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science with Distinction from Cornell University and his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. From 1999 to 2003, Dr. Soh served as the technical manager of MEMS Device Research Group at Bell Laboratories and Agere Systems. He was a faculty member at UCSB before joining Stanford in 2015. His current research interests are in analytical biotechnology, especially in high-throughput screening, directed evolution, and integrated biosensors.
