Lee Schiel is an American entrepreneur, software developer, computer
programmer and scientific researcher with a specialty in innovating new
techniques for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Inspired by the AI and
CGI technology that was shaping movies and gaming, and looking for a
way to enhance then current medical imaging medical imaging,

Schiel developed software to turn MRI data instantaneously into 3D
images. Previous MRI technology resulted in 2D images that required
conversion to 3D images.

Schiel is the founder and CEO of MRI First a company which aims to make
MRI procedures more effective, accessible and affordable. Traditional
medical imaging takes 45 minutes to an hour, while 3D imaging can see
results in minutes. . https://www.urologytimes.com/view/new-mri-software-

Decreasing the time needed to produce 3D images allows physicians to
diagnose more quickly and accurately while also lowering the costs
associated with the procedure. https://www.urologytimes.com/view/new-

While MRI technology is traditionally associated only with medical
applications, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_imaging
the MRI software developed by Schiel got its start in another scientific field
altogether, paleontology.
Schiel first became interested in medical scanning technology not as a
scientist, but as an amateur paleontologist in the possession of dinosaur
eggs, discovered in China in the early 1990s and on loan to Schiel to
display at his alma mater, Chapman University in Los Angeles.

Schiel partnered with Methodist Hospital of Southern California to use
sophisticated CAT scan imaging [HYPERLINK] to get the most accurate
look at dinosaur embryos seen at that point.

This even was considered a significant leap in the use of medical
technology as a scientific research tool

leading to inclusion in a National Geographic cover story

Using medical imaging to study fossils has since become a common
practice among paleontologists

modern Paleontography

Other Applications of 3d MRI Technology
Schiel has been called on by a number of partners to adapt his technology
in a variety of ways. He has worked with NASA to revolution their approach
to finding life in space, looking for fossilized bacteria instead of live
bacteria.

In 2001 a press conference was held at JPL that debuted the success of
Schiel’s imaging protocols for finding bacterial infestation in the permafrost
layers in Antarctica. It was determined at this point that NASA would be
using his noninvasive protocols for future investigation of sample returns
from the Mars rovers. [NEED SOURCE]

Schiel and his technology were instrumental in groundbreaking surgery to
separate conjoined twins in Los Angeles in 2002, an event that garnered
worldwide headlines.

The team podiatrist of the U.S. Men’s and Women’s National Soccer teams

adapt his technology and services, with a particular focus on breast cancer
diagnosis and treatment. https://issuu.com/villagenewsinc/docs/10-10-14-

EARLY LIFE
LeRoy Earl Schiel, Jr., better known as Lee, was born in St. Mary’s Hospital
in Duluth, Minnesota on April 2,1956. He was born in the same maternity
ward as Bob Dylan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dylan#:~:text=Bob%20Dylan%20was%20born%20Ro
bert,Range%20west%20of%20Lake%20Superior.
He was one of four sets of twins (one stillborn) born to Valerie and LeRoy
Schiel.
His father LeRoy served five tours of duty in the navy during the Vietnam
War, thus the family lived in several states during Lee’s early life including
California, Iowa, Wyoming, and Michigan. Many of the places they lived,
the family became a news story, since multiple sets of twins was a rare
occurrence in the late 1950s.
Although never formally diagnosed, he suffers from dyslexia. Although
challenging in some aspects of his life, it allows him to visualize concepts in
3D.
At fifteen, the family returned to California and settled in Huntington Beach,
CA where Schiel attended Edison High School. A mostly self-taught player,
Schiel became a top tennis player and a Hall of Famer for tennis at the
school.
He began his college education at Orange Coast College in 1975, and then
in 1977 he earned a full athletic scholarship to play tennis at Chapman
College (now Chapman University)

where he received a bachelor’s degree in Business and Economics in
1980. After graduation, Schiel served briefly as the school’s head tennis
coach was also pursuing a professional tennis career.
In 1982 Schiel was accepted into the United States Marine Corps aviation
program in Quantico, VA, where in 1983 he received serious injuries
requiring multiple surgeries. This ultimately disqualified him from flight
training. Following his honorable discharge from the Marine Corps, Schiel
experienced a host of medical challenges requiring years of physical
rehabilitation. This ultimately led to his keen interest in medical diagnostic
technologies.
Present Life
Schiel currently lives in Georgetown, Texas with his wife of X years, Donna
