Olaf T. Von Ramm is a Duke engineering and medicine faculty leader whose work has advanced real-time three-dimensional ultrasound and cardiac imaging. He is Thomas Lord Distinguished Professor of Engineering, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Professor in Medicine, and a Duke Cardiology faculty member. His research spans diagnostic ultrasound systems, IR imaging, medical instrumentation, cardiac function, blood-flow visualization, and high-speed volumetric imaging. He earned a B.S. from the University of Toronto in 1968, an M.S. there in 1970, and a Ph.D. from Duke in 1973. He previously directed Duke’s Emerging Cardiovascular Technologies ERC. In 1990, he helped form 3-D Ultrasound, Inc., later renamed Volumetrics Medical Imaging, to develop real-time 3-D ultrasound equipment.
