James Carr, MD, is professor of Radiology, Medicine & Biomedical Engineering and chairman of the department of Radiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois. He previously served as vice chair for Research in Radiology at Northwestern. He is the Drs. Frederick John Bradd and William Kennedy Memorial Professor of Radiology at Northwestern University. He completed residencies in Internal Medicine and Radiology in Dublin, Ireland and fellowship training in Cardiovascular MRI and Interventional Radiology at Northwestern University. As director of the division of Cardiovascular Imaging in Radiology at Northwestern since 2004, he has created an independent, clinically orientated section, a collaborative effort between Radiology and Cardiology, focused on cardiovascular MRI and CT and has sought to rapidly translate advances in the research arena into clinical applications. He directs a dedicated fellowship program in cardiovascular imaging and also one in clinical/research MRI, for which he has mentored over 70 clinical and research fellows at Northwestern University. He has served on national, international and institutional committees related to research and education, including those of the American Heart Association, the American College of Radiology, the Society of Cardiovascular MR and the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. He has had active involvement with the SCMR for over 14 years, has delivered numerous educational and scientific talks at the annual conference, has chaired and organized several sessions and is currently a member of the SCMR Executive Board and the Board of Trustees. He is past president of the Society for Magnetic Resonance Angiography (SMRA), which recently formed a collaboration with SCMR. He has delivered over 200 invited presentations on cardiovascular MRI in the U.S. and around the world. Dr. Carr is principal investigator or co‐investigator on multiple industry and national institute of health grants. His research focuses on the development and clinical evaluation of techniques for cardiac and vascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). He has authored or co‐authored over 240 publications on cardiovascular imaging, with specific focus on time‐resolved MRA, ultrafast cardiac MRI techniques, mapping and myocardial function including authorship on the appropriateness criteria for cardiac MRI in JACC.
