Phil Bendick received his BS and MS from MIT and his Ph.D. from Stanford University. As an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at Purdue University from 1973 to 1975, he helped establish the Medical Ultrasound Research Laboratory and worked on the development of random signal processing techniques for blood flow detection and measurement, precursors to today’s coded excitation and B‐flow techniques.
Bendick became involved with the clinical application of ultrasound with his move in 1976 to the Indiana University Medical Center in Indianapolis, where he established the noninvasive Vascular Laboratories for the University Hospital, Wishard Memorial Hospital (county hospital), and the VA Hospital. In 1986 he moved to William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan (a suburb of Detroit) as Director of Surgical Research and established the Vascular Laboratory there, where he remains a technical director of a department performing over 25,000 non‐invasive vascular studies per year.
