Professor Walter Kucharczyk is a neuroradiologist from the University of Toronto, where he
graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in 1979. He undertook specialty training in
Radiology in Toronto, followed by subspecialty training in Neuroradiology and Magnetic
Resonance Imaging at the University of California, San Francisco from 1984 to 1986. He
returned to a faculty position at the University of Toronto in 1986, and became the inaugural
Director of Magnetic Resonance Imaging at what was then the Toronto General Hospital. He
has remained Director of MRI ever since. At the University, he became Professor and Chair
of the Department of Medical Imaging in 1991, a position he held until 2007. He is PastPresident of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), the
largest research and education group in the world (5000 members) devoted to developing
and teaching magnetic resonance to doctors and scientists. He has been awarded several
grants from Technology Ontario (the predecessor of ORDCF), the Canadian Foundation for
Innovation, the Ontario Research and Development Challenge Fund (CFI), and most recently,
the Leading Edge Fund of CFI. His research interests are vast and include the design and
development of a magnetic resonance imaging system for image guidance of minimally
invasive methods of diagnosis and treatment, the development of magnetic resonance
thermography for real-time image monitoring of thermal coagulation of human cancers,
correlation of MRI monitored thermal lesions with histology and patient outcome and
assessment of tissue perfusion after thermal therapy using MRI and US contrast agents.
