Radiology
Daniel Costa, M.D.
Interests: Research and Clinical
Prostate cancer. Dr. Costa is an abdominal imaging radiologist with expertise in prostate cancer imaging. Specific areas of interest include the role of multiparametric MR imaging in the early detection and characterization of prostate cancer; MRI-ultrasound targeted fusion biopsy of the prostate; registration of histopathologic images with in vivo MRI data; and MRI-guided prostate cancer focal therapy.
David Fetzer, M.D.
Interests: Research
Quantitative and computational imaging, multimodality imaging, hepatic fibrosis quantification, perfusion, and the effects of motion and physiologic processes on quantitative techniques. Dr. Fetzer’s complementary background in imaging science and interest in translational research constitute a foundation for his work in multimodality comparison and quantification, particularly in hepatobiliary, renal, and thyroid imaging.
Gaurav Khatri, M.D.
Interests: Research and Clinical
Hepatobiliary and pancreatic MRI, MRI of rectal cancer, pelvic floor imaging, and imaging in gastrointestinal oncology. Dr. Khatri’s interest in hepatobiliary MRI stems from his fellowship work in liver MRI, as well as his current association with clinicians as part of the Hepatocellular Carcinoma and GI Malignancy disease-oriented teams. He helped launch the MR Enterography and MR Defecography programs at UT Southwestern. Dr. Khatri serves as the radiology lead for the pancreatic cancer prevention and rectal cancer clinical and research programs at UT Southwestern Medical Center. He works with clinicians and the Body MRI faculty to research and improve MR imaging techniques and applications in those areas.
Robert Lenkinski, Ph.D.
One of Dr. Lenkinski’s major research interests is in clinical applications of in vivo MRI and spectroscopy. He is also developing in vivo multinuclear MRI methods, primarily Na-23. A more recent area of interest has been molecular imaging, which involves the development of novel MR and optical-based imaging contrast.
Takeshi Yokoo, M.D., Ph.D.
Interests: Research and Clinical
MR imaging, spectroscopy, and physics; quantitative and computational imaging; liver imaging; and contrast media. Dr. Yokoo is an abdominal radiologist with interest and expertise in liver MR and image analysis/processing. His main research focus is on the development and validation of emerging quantitative MR imaging techniques, such as liver fat, iron, fibrosis, and inflammation.
