Dr. Kim Hsieh graduated from the Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (USP)  in 1992, completed Diagnostic Radiology residency at INRAD, was a visiting fellow at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, and was a research fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Dr Kim Hsieh is a fellow of the Brazilian College of Radiology, she has been training residents and fellows at CEDIM - INRAD since 1999, coordinating several Breast Imaging courses with a focus on Breast MRI, and coordinating the Breast MRI service at INRAD.


Elizabeth Anne Morris, MD is Professor and Chair of the Radiology Department at University of California at Davis (UCD). Prior to that she was a Professor and the Larry Norton Endowed Chair at Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC) and Chief of the Breast Imaging Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). Dr. Morris graduated summa cum laude from UCD in Biochemistry and received her medical degree from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). She completed her residency at WCMC and a body/breast imaging fellowship at MSKCC, where she has then remained on the faculty.

Dr. Morris is a fellow of the American College of Radiology (ACR), Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) and International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), and is a past president of the SBI. She is the inaugural Equity Diversity and Inclusion Officer of the ISMRM and co-chair of the Women of ISMRM (WISMRM). Her recent research efforts have focused on employing imaging biomarkers to assess risk and treatment response.
