Tenured Professor of Radiology, Neurosurgery and Otolaryngology at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry.

Published dozens of manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals, and a visiting professor and lecturer in leading universities, both nationally and internationally. Author of a number of seminal textbooks, including Differential Diagnosis in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which has been translated into more than seven languages. He is the sole author of a book published in 2008 by Thieme titled, MRI of Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors and Tumor-Like Lesions, Differential Diagnosis and Atlas. He is the co-author of two books titled, Differential Diagnosis in Computed Tomography, 2nd Edition in 2011 and Differential Diagnosis in Musculoskeletal MRI in 2015 by Thieme Publishers, the latter of which won the PROSE Award for the Best Book in Clinical Medicine in 2016. In 2016, he authored three books in Neuroradiology published by Thieme titled, Differential Diagnosis in Neuroimaging: Brain and Meninges; Differential Diagnosis in Neuroimaging: Head and Neck; and Differential Diagnosis in Neuroimaging: Spine.

Founder and former Director of the Advanced MRI Fellowship Program at UMI, which has trained 55 Fellows from all over the United States since 1999. He was also the Director for the Radiology Residency Program at the University of Rochester from 2010-2017. Recipient of six faculty teaching awards.

Medical degree from the University of Vermont College of Medicine, and a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. Completed Residency in Radiology at the Mt. Sinai Medical Center in Cleveland, a Fellowship in MRI at the University of Pittsburgh, PA, and a Neuroradiology Fellowship at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. Certified by the American Board of Radiology and holds a certificate of added qualification in Neuroradiology.
