二、主讲人简介

Prof. Rhode obtained his bachelor’s degree in Basic Medical Sciences and Radiological Sciences at Guy's & St. Thomas' Hospitals Medical School in 1992. He studied for a doctorate in the Department of Surgery, UCL, investigating quantitative blood flow analysis using X-ray angiography. From 2001 to 2007, he was employed at the Division of Imaging Sciences, KCL as a post-doctoral researcher working in the field of image-guided interventions, particularly catheter-based electrophysiology procedures. During this time, he developed novel methods for the registration of cardiac MRI data to X-ray fluoroscopy data for guiding minimally-invasive catheter-based procedures in the hybrid XMR environment. He also worked in close collaboration with industry to extend these techniques to provide image-guided solutions for standard catheter laboratories.

Prof. Rhode was appointed Professor in Biomedical Engineering and the head of education at the school of biomedical engineering and imaging sciences. His current research interests include image-guided interventions, intelligent mechatronics systems for interventions and ultrasound imaging, 3D printing in healthcare and pedagogy for biomedical engineering.

Rhode教授于1992年在盖伊和圣托马斯医院医学院获得基础医学科学和放射科学学士学位，后于伦敦大学学院取得外科学博士学位，研究方向为使用X射线血管造影术进行定量血流分析。2001至2007年，在KCL影像科学部担任博士后研究员，从事图像引导介入领域的工作，尤其是基于导管的电生理学手术。在此期间，他开发了将心脏MRI数据配准到X射线透视数据的新方法，用于在混合XMR环境中指导基于导管的微创手术。Rhode教授还与行业密切合作，扩展技术，为标准导管实验室提供图像引导解决方案。

Rhode教授担任伦敦国王学院生物医学工程教授以及生物医学工程与影像科学学院教学主管。他目前的研究内容包括图像引导介入、介入和超声成像的智能机电一体化系统、医疗保健中的3D打印和生物医学工程教学法。其在谷歌学术的被引量高达7600余次，以第一作者发表了IEEE Trans等20余篇论文，期刊、会议、专著、专利等学术产出共400余项，近五年作为第一或主要负责人主持或参与10余个EPSRC、NIHR、EC等项目。
