Biographies
Michael H. Lev, MD, has been an attending neuroradiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Mass,
since 1995. He is currently Director of Emergency Neuroradiology and the Radiology Neurovascular Laboratory and associate
professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School in Boston. He is board certified in both internal medicine and radiology,
with a certificate of added qualification in neuroradiology. He served as deputy editor for neuroimaging of Radiology
from August 2007 through March 2009 and continues his service on the Radiology editorial board as consultant to the
editor. He has been on the editorial board of the American Journal of Neuroradiology since 2000 and is a principal
investigator for both the CT perfusion stroke imaging project of Partners Healthcare's National Institutes of Health–funded
Specialized Program of Translation Research in Acute Stroke (SPOTRIAS) program project grant and for the Department of
Defense/National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering–funded point-of-care center study of the clinical feasibility
of electrical impedance spectroscopy.
Shervin Kamalian, MD, is a research fellow and neuroimaging research
laboratory director for CT dose reduction.
He receives support in the form of two federally funded grants to study the feasibility
of electrical impedance spectroscopy
at the Neuroradiology Section of the Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, Mass). He
was selected to participate in the
Scholars in Clinical Science Program at Harvard Medical School in Boston, where he is
scheduled to receive an MSc degree in
clinical investigation in 2013. He received his MD degree from Tehran Azad University
of Medical Sciences (Tehran, Iran),
where he completed a clinical internship. His current research interests also include
advanced ischemic and hemorrhagic
stroke imaging, and his efforts to date have been published (or are pending publication)
in journals such as Stroke,
the American Journal of Neuroradiology, Cerebrovascular Disorders,
Neurology, and Radiology.
Dr Kamalian is a member of the Radiological Society of North America, the American
Roentgen Ray Society, and the American
Heart Association/American Stroke Association.
