UCSF Radiology Welcomes Two New Faculty Members
We are pleased to welcome two new faculty members to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging.
In August, neuroradiologist Weiya Mu, MD, joined as an assistant professor in Clinical Radiology at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG), and Jonathan Friedman, MD, joined as an assistant professor in Clinical Radiology in the Musculoskeletal Imaging Division.
In his welcome, department Chair Christopher Hess, MD, PhD, noted, “Dr. Mu comes to us from Stanford, where she recently completed a two-year neuroradiology fellowship. She brings significant emergency radiology experience to our growing ZSFG division. Dr. Friedman completed his MSK fellowship with us, where he excelled as a teacher. Both new faculty members have strong records as leaders who are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
Dr. Mu earned her medical degree at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, NY, with a distinction in research. Following an internship at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, she completed her diagnostic radiology residency at the Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, where she was chief resident. She completed her two-year neuroradiology fellowship at the Stanford Medical Center in Palo Alto.
Dr. Mu has experience in emergency radiology and has published research on diagnosing fat-containing lesions in thoracic imaging, traumatic brain injury in combat veterans, neuroplasticity, and neck strength in young adults. Her presentation on “The Vomer Bone and Vomerovaginal Canals: A Pictorial and Educational Review of Neuroimaging Anatomy and Pathology” won the 2022 ASNR Educational Exhibit Certificate of Merit. She has received an award in the Einstein Medical Center annual case report competition, as well as several research fellowships.
Dr. Friedman earned his medical degree at The George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC. Following his internship at University of Chicago Medical Center (NorthShore) in Evanston, IL, he completed his diagnostic radiology residency at Boston University Medical Center and a fellowship in musculoskeletal imaging at UCSF.
Dr. Friedman has published research on imaging of common hip pathologies in runners. He has conducted resident lectures on hip injuries in runners, benign osseous lesions that can be diagnosed radiographically, and imaging findings of non-accidental trauma or child abuse. He has presented research on “Comparison of DLP-Based Effective Dose to Monte Carlo-Based Effective Dose in Low Dose Chest CTs."
Join us in welcoming Drs. Mu and Friedman.
