Topic: Traumatic Brain Injury, the TRACK-TBI Study, Data, and Quantitative Imaging
Guest Speaker: Dr. Pratik Mukherjee MD, PhD, UCSF
Dr. Mukherjee is a Professor in Residence in the Department Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, Bioengineering, and he is an attending neuroradiologist at the University of California, San Francisco. He is the Director of the Center for Imaging of Neurodegenerative Disease (CIND) based at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. He also directs the Neural Connectivity Laboratory (NCL) at UCSF China Basin.
Dr. Mukherjee’s primary clinical research is the study of neurodevelopmental disorders and traumatic brain injury (TBI) using advanced neuroimaging and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) technology. His research has been focused on technical development, neuroscience and clinical applications of advanced imaging methods for mapping structure and function of the human brain, especially diffusion MRI, which is a popular technique for assessing the development and integrity of white matter and for mapping axonal fiber pathways.
Scope: Dr. Mukherjee will discuss his work on traumatic brain injury with the TRACK-TBI trial and on advanced neuroimaging and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) technology.
