Biography

Eric E. Sigmund is a Professor in the Department of Radiology with extensive research focused on technical development and clinical applications of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). His work explores the sensitivity measurements of tissue microstructure and the mobility of water at the micron scale, embedding crucial information into the macroscopic images of the human body. By leveraging the behavior of water molecules, his research group aims to translate DWI techniques into diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for various tissue functions and disorders. Specifically, their emphasis on breast cancer has established DWI as an essential tool in detecting aggressive cellularity. Dr. Sigmund's academic credentials include a PhD from Northwestern University, alongside multiple fellowships in Radiology and advanced research. He is actively involved in developing new imaging analysis tools that enhance clinical outcomes for targeted patient populations.
