Dr. Chung earned her medical degree at the Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, followed by an internship at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego. Dr. Chung completed her diagnostic radiology residency at UCSF, where she was recognized in 2022 with the Elmer Ng Outstanding Resident Award, the Margulis Society Resident Research Award, and the RSNA’s Roentgen Resident/Fellow Research Award. Dr. Chung has served as a clinical fellow in our breast imaging section since 2022.
Dr. Chung is a member of the Science and Technology Resource Group pillar in the Center for Intelligent Imaging (ci2). She has served on the UCSF Residency Admission Committee, the Residency Quality Assurance Committee, and was the UCSF Representative to the California Radiological Society.
With a strong record of publication, Dr. Chung’s current research focuses on the use of neural networks in imaging. Her projects cover simulated contrast-enhanced breast MRI using convolutional neural network, convolutional neural networks for radiographic detection of surgical sponges, and PET/CT metabolic tumor segmentation using a multi-modality multi-t ask neural network. Her previous research at UCSF focused on the use of ultrasound for the evaluation of palpable masses in lactating women.
