Suresh K. Mukherji, MD, is a professor of radiology and otolaryngology at the University of Michigan Medical School (Ann Arbor), where he is division director of head/neck and neuroradiology. He received his medical degree from the Georgetown University Medical School (Washington, DC), followed by internship at Riverside Hospital (Newport News, VA). He completed a residency in radiology at the Harvard Medical School/Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Boston, MA), followed by a fellowship in neuroradiology with emphasis on head/neck imaging at the University of Florida (Gainesville, FL).

Dr. Mukherji’s research efforts focus on both technological and clinical innovations across a range of imaging modalities. He has published more than 200 peer-reviewed articles and 50 book chapters and serves on the editorial boards of 11 imaging and medical journals. Among his most recent publications are:
