Radiology
Research Interests: 

My research focuses on advanced MRI and PET/MRI techniques and their application to alleviate neurological disease.  I lead an inter-disciplinary team of physicians, graduate and post-doctoral students, and research associates with technical expertise in all the required realms to perform successful advanced imaging studies.  As an active clinical neuroradiologist, I have a strong track record of integrating advanced imaging methods to clinical patients and have published extensively on its value in a wide range of diseases.  During the past several years, I have become convinced that AI generally and deep learning in particular will transform medicine.  Radiology will be fundamentally affected.  In the area of deep learning, I have demonstrated its use to improve MR reconstruction, reduce MR contrast dose and radiation dose, segmentation of brain metastases, and to predict the future.
