Dr. Sean Zhou, 42, specializes in computer vision and data mining for medical imaging applications. Zhou, an inventor from Siemens Healthcare in Malvern, Pennsylvania, in the U.S., has developed imaging system software that employs statistical methods to identify anatomical landmarks and structures—e.g., precisely defined points in a patient's body. This innovation is intended to make Siemens medical imaging scanners smarter, quicker, more precise, and more consistent. The technology can also be employed to improve the analysis and comparison of medical images for radiologists at the reading time. Zhou was born in the Chinese province of Hubei and attended Tsinghua University, a top University in China.
