Dean O. Kuethe, PhD

Dr. Kuethe was originally trained as a Zoologist, specializing in Comparative Physiology, but has spent most of his career developing techniques for magnetic resonance imaging to do things it does not do at present, such as make good images of lungs, respiratory physiology measurements such as ventilation and ventilation-to perfusion ratio, image the intensity of turbulent flows, defects in materials, roots of crop plants, aerosol dynamics, etc.  He is currently assisting to quantify measurements of blood-brain barrier integrity and hopes to get clinical MRI systems to image human lungs as well as research systems can image rat lungs.
