Márton Kolossváry obtained his MD and PhD at the Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary. During his studies, he focused on artificial intelligence applications in radiology. He developed RIA, an open-source radiomics image analysis toolbox that provides a user-friendly interface for performing complex radiomics analyses on medical images. He successfully defended my thesis entitled “Characterization of coronary atherosclerosis on computed tomography using advanced image processing techniques”. He moved to the United States to complete a postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins University under the supervision of Shenghan Lai, and at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School under the supervision of Udo Hoffmann and Michael Lu. He worked on various topics such as the classification of coronary plaques, identification of new imaging biomarkers, deep learning analysis of chest X-rays, and optimization of data-driven latent feature extraction algorithms from radiological images. He also developed the open-source parseRPDR software package which is still being used to analyze the Research Patient Data Registry available at the Massachusetts General Hospital.
He has received prestigious research awards from various scientific societies and foundations, such as the János Bolyai Research Scholarship, the Junior Prima Award, the Pro Scientia Gold Medal, and the Stephen W. Kuffler Research Scholarship. He has also been honoured with several conference recognitions for his oral and poster presentations, such as the Young Investigator Award and the Outstanding Academic Research Award awarded by the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, the Trainee Research Prize awarded by the Radiological Society of North America and the Best scientific paper presentation and the Rising Star award at the European Congress of Radiology. Over the past years, he has received research grants from the Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School and from the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund of Hungary.
In 2022, he moved back to Hungary to join the team at the Gottsegen National Cardiovascular Center in Budapest where he is currently positioned as the head of the Department of Education and Research.
