Working in both a national and international capacity, John’s experiences have included all facets of radiology, from service to software. He is passionate about developing and maintaining strong relationships centered on trust with each of his customers.

The majority of Rana’s work at SpinTech relates to quality assurance and control, purchasing and inventory control, document control, HR, accounting and managing daily business operations. She earned her BBA in Hospitality Management from Notre Dame University in Zouk Mosbeh, Lebanon. She is currently a candidate at Davenport University, working towards her MBA in Healthcare Management.

David leads the design of SpinTech’s testing strategies, works with the rest of our team to determine passing criteria, and organizes the clinical trials for products and devices. He earned his B.A.&Sc. in Anthropology and Biological Sciences from Wayne State University. David is driven to advance neuroimaging and quantitative mapping, allowing medical professionals to better understand disease etiologies and branch therapeutic efficacy.

Sean is in his final year of study towards a PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Wayne State University. His PhD focus in medical imaging builds on his expertise in susceptibility weighted imaging methods and pathology related to abnormal brain iron. Sean has published in the MRI field and has presented work to the International Society for Neurovascular Disease (ISNVD), where he currently serves as a Junior Board Member. For over 10 years, he has trained research collaborators in MR processing and analysis methods, both domestically and abroad. Most recently, he monitored the successful study to facilitate FDA approval of STAGE, a 5-minute MRI protocol.

At SpinTech, Miller is responsible for leading our CMB automatic detection team, alongside other smaller data processing and white paper-producing projects. He earned his MS in Biomedical Engineering and BS in Biomedical Physics from Wayne State University. Miller comes from a background studying Resting State fMRI, Stroke Bleeding Volume, TBI Quantification, Solid State Physics, Biocompatibility, and Human Development.

Sara earned her MS and PhD in Computer Science from Wright State University, as well as her BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from the Sahand University of Technology. Before joining as a research engineer at SpinTech, Sara interned at the MRI Institute for Biomedical Research. She focused on image reconstruction related to limited data, like that collected through STAGE, while learning more about MRI and SWIM.

Ying has over 15 years of experience in medical imaging algorithm and software development, specializing in Image Registration, Segmentation and Quantitative Analysis. She previously led a team in developing a mammography CAD product at Neusoft Medical Inc. Ying earned her BS in Automatic Control from Northeastern University, as well as an MS in Automatic Control from Shenyang University and an MS in Computer Science from Wayne State University.

Qiuyun is currently involved in various STAGE software development projects while also conducting research around the detection of cerebral microbleeds in patients with traumatic brain injury, stroke, and dementia using susceptibility-weighted MR imaging. She has earned a bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, as well as an M.S. & Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Wayne State University, where her research focus was on optical and ultrasound imaging.
