Timothy Ziemlewicz, M.D.

University of Wisconsin 



Dr. Ziemlewicz is a Professor of Radiology in the section of Abdominal Imaging and Intervention at the University of Wisconsin. He serves as an assistant residency program director, chairs the programs clinical competency committee, and is the medical director of ultrasound. He joined the faculty in 2010 following the completion of an abdominal imaging fellowship at Duke University and diagnostic radiology residency at Wayne State University, Detroit, MI. He spent the early part of his career with a clinical and research focus on thermal tumor ablation and image post-processing for surgical planning. In recent years he has worked closely with the scientists and clinicians who pioneered histotripsy to help advance the technique to clinical adoption. His NIH and industry funded research lab is focused on clinical translation of histotripsy, thermal ablation, and the use of ultrasound for intervention. He has been involved in numerous multi-center clinical trials for thermal ablation and histotripsy, including serving as the co-PI of the #HOPE4LIVER trial which lead to the FDA approval of histotripsy for the treatment of hepatic tumors. In addition to his active thermal ablation and histotripsy practice, he currently educates new users of histotripsy and advises for ongoing clinical trials in the space.
