Suresh K. Mukherji, MD, MBA, FACR, received his undergraduate degree from Duke University (1983) and MD degree from Georgetown University (1987). After finishing his radiology residency at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School (1992), he completed a two-year neuroradiology fellow, with emphasis on head and neck imaging, at the University of Florida in 1994. His academic positions include being director of head & neck radiology at University of North Carolina, division director of neuroradiology at University of Michigan and chair of radiology at Michigan State University. He is currently clinical professor of radiology at the University of Illinois and also holds appointments in radiation oncology at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Rutgers University, and Otolaryngology Head Neck Surgery at Michigan State University. He currently serves as the national director of Head & Neck Radiology at ProScan Imaging and regional medical director at Envision Physician Services.

His primary scientific interests have focused on investigating emerging metabolic and physiologic imaging techniques to evaluate head and neck cancer and to differentiate recurrent tumors from post-therapeutic changes. These technologies include imaging with fluorodeoxyglucose analogues imaged with prototype Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography, Gamma Cameras, standard PET, and CT-PET. Other metabolic and physiologic imaging techniques he has investigated include Thallium-201, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, CT perfusion and CT spectral imaging. He has been the Principal Investigator and co-investigator on numerous NIH and society grants and has authored over 500 scientific manuscripts, book chapters and editorials. Dr. Mukherji is a devoted educator and has been an invited speaker on over 500 occasions. He has written or edited 15 textbooks and is the consulting editor for both Neuroimaging Clinics and Magnetic Resonance Clinics of North America and associate editor for the Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography.
