Dorin Comaniciu (born 1964) is a Romanian-American computer scientist. He is the Senior Vice President of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation at Siemens Healthcare.

Research[edit]

Comaniciu is known for his work in computer vision,[1][2] medical imaging[3] and machine learning.[4][5] His academic publications have 54,000 citations with an H-index of 85.[6] As of 2022, he holds 308 US patents[7] and 550 international patent applications.[8] He joined Siemens in 1999 as a senior research scientist with a focus on computer vision applications for automotive systems.[9] Since 2004, he has served in various research and leadership positions, directing technology development in diagnostic imaging[10][11] and image-guided surgery[12]

Most recently, his team's research has focused on artificial intelligence,[13][14][15] hyper-realistic visualization,[16] and precision medicine.[17]

Together with his team and clinical collaborators, he has helped pioneer many clinical products, including efficient bone reading,[18] vascular analysis, cardiac function assessment, trans-esophageal 3D heart valve assessment,[19] guidance for aortic valve implantation,[20] enhanced stent visualization, compressed sensing for Magnetic Resonance,[21] and automatic patient positioning for Computed Tomography.
