He has since been concerned with the development and applications of CMR techniques to further our understanding of cardiovascular diseases, guide diagnosis and management, and assess prognosis. His research interest covers a wide spectrum of congenital and acquired cardiovascular conditions and includes pioneering work on quantitative blood flow measurements, vascular wall imaging and arterial wall biophysical properties. He was twice awarded the William S. Moore award of the ISMRM (1991 and 1993). Professor Mohiaddin is a fellow of the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Radiologists and the European Society of Cardiology. He is a founding member of SCMR and was a Board of Trustees member.
