Radiologist

Primary Academic Title

Professor, Radiology Senior Vice-chair and Chief, Division of Nuclear Medicine, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine

Clinical Expertise

Nuclear medicine

Research Interest

In general, my main interest is the oncologic application of positron emission tomography (PET). PET provides unique information about the biology and behavior of tumors that can be used to improve management of cancer patients.
