T32 Presentations: An Opportunity to Learn about the Research of our T32 Trainees (Day 1)
Date
The Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging has a long record of excellence in clinical and academic radiology, and has one of the largest research enterprises funded through intra- and extramural funding and private donors. With numerous outstanding basic scientists and clinicians engaged in innovative imaging research across five principal campus units, the department provides a fertile ground for interdisciplinary collaboration. The T32 program exists to jumpstart the academic careers of junior radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians and to provide the essential foundation for developing a research program as an independent investigator.

Speakers
UCSF Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging
"Application of Edge Density Diffusion MR Imaging in Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury"
Cyrus A. Raji, MD, PhD is a Neuroradiology Clinical Fellow in the UCSF Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging. As a 2016-2017 NIH T-32 scholar, Dr. Raji's research investigations over the past year have focused on application of edge density imaging with diffusion weighted MR imaging in pediatric traumatic brain injury under the guidance of Dr. Praitk Mukherjee at the Neural Connectivity Laboratory at UCSF. Dr. Raji will complete his next year of clinical training in Neuroradiology at UCSF.
