Dr. Dinggang Shen has been an Associate Editor since 2020 and primarily oversees manuscript submissions in the areas of medical image analysis.

Dr. Dinggang Shen is Professor and Dean of School of Biomedical Engineering, ShanghaiTech University, and also Co-CEO of United Imaging Intelligence (UII). He was Jeffrey Houpt Distinguished Investigator, and (Tenured) Full Professor in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), directing The Center of Image Analysis and Informatics, The Image Display, Enhancement, and Analysis (IDEA) Lab, and The Medical Image Analysis Core. His research interests include medical image analysis, computer vision, and pattern recognition. He has published more than 1100 peer-reviewed papers in the international journals and conference proceedings, with H-index 113.

Dr. Shen is Fellow of IEEE, Fellow of The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), Fellow of The International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR), and also Fellow of The Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) Society. He serves as Editor-in-Chief for Frontiers in Radiology, as well as editorial board member for eight international journals. Also, he has served in the Board of Directors, The Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) Society, in 2012-2015, and was General Chair for MICCAI 2019.

Dr. Matthew W. Urban has been an Associate Editor since 2014 and primarily oversees manuscript submissions in the areas of ultrasound imaging.

Dr. Matthew W. Urban has been working on ultrasound imaging and ultrasound-based elastographic tissue characterization since 2007 when he completed his Ph.D. at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine. During that time, his research was focused on measurements of tissue response due to applied acoustic radiation force. He continued performing research using various methods such as vibro-acoustography and shear wave elastography. He has been involved with research evaluating such tissues as the liver, kidney, heart, and vessels. More recently, his research interests include ultrasound beamforming, ultrasound signal and image processing, the development of enhanced evaluation of viscoelastic properties of soft tissues and the use of optical coherence elastography to evaluate mechanical properties.

He contributed as a co-editor of a textbook “Ultrasound Elastography for Biomedical Applications and Medicine” with the collaboration of colleagues in the field. Dr. Urban has remained at Mayo Clinic for his entire career and has a primary appointment in the Department of Radiology with a joint appointment in the Department of Physiology and Biomedical Engineering. He is currently an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering.

Dr. Urban has been a proud member of the IEEE throughout his career. He is an IEEE Senior Member and has serves on the Technical Programming Committee for Biomedical Ultrasound (Group 1) for the annual IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium. He has also served as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control since 2013. Dr. Urban is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and a member of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine and SPIE.
