Dr. Yin-Chen Hsu is a postdoctoral scientist at the Biomedical Imaging Research Institute,
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He earned his medical degree from National Cheng
Kung University in 2015 and then completed radiology residency training at Chang Gung
Memorial Hospital in 2020. He received a master’s degree in applied data science from the
School of Information at University of Michigan in 2021. His career has focused on integrating
quantitative MRI techniques with computational imaging analysis to advance precision
diagnostics.

Dr. Hsu’s research centers on the development and clinical translation of noninvasive imaging
biomarkers for neurological and systemic diseases. He has authored multiple peer-reviewed
publications and abstracts, and his work has been presented at national and international
conferences. His work includes optimizing susceptibility-weighted imaging for improved
detection of the central vein sign in multiple sclerosis, as well as leading projects in carotid
vessel wall imaging and metabolic MRI for pancreatic disease. He is dedicated to advancing
translational imaging research with a long-term goal of integrating quantitative imaging
biomarkers into clinical applications.
