R. Brooke Jeffrey, Jr., MD, is a professor of radiology and chief of the Abdominal Imaging Section at the Stanford University School of Medicine (CA). He received his medical degree from Jefferson Medical College (Philadelphia, PA) and completed a surgical internship at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center (New York, NY). After diagnostic radiology electives at the Addenbrooke’s Hospital (Cambridge, UK) and the Karolinska Institute (Stockholm, Sweden), he completed a radiology residency and body imaging fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. He served on the faculty at UCSF until 1989.

His research covers a broad spectrum of imaging techniques and investigative approaches, including advanced imaging display and interpretation in CT and ultrasound. He is a past president of the Society of Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance. Honored for both his teaching abilities and his scientific presentations, Dr. Jeffrey has authored or coauthored more than 300 articles in the peer-reviewed literature.
