Kristina Elizabeth Hawk
Clinical Assistant Professor, Radiology - Rad/Nuclear Medicine
BioKristina Elizabeth Hawk, MS MD PhD is a Nuclear Medicine Physician and Neuroradiologist. As a physician scientist, integrated MD/PhD training helped build a foundation to explore translational research efforts, using a full and intricate understanding of the research process, and the developed ability to understand, discuss and teach new emerging concepts. Dr. Hawk’s dissertation in Neuroscience focused on the regulation of Nitric Oxide Synthase in the dorsal and ventral striatum, exploring the neurochemical role of nitric oxide producing interneurons, and their ability to coordinate dopaminergic and glutamatergic signaling in areas of the brain relevant to cognition and motivated behavior.
Eager to expand her passion into the field of Medical Radiation Physics, she also completed a separate Masters degree in Medical Radiation Physics. This provided her with in depth training of how therapeutic and diagnostic instruments use both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation in the clinical setting. She then completed her Medical Doctorate and Diagnostic Radiology Residency at the University of Southern California (USC), learning the art of medicine while serving the diverse population at Los Angeles County Hospital.
Dr. Hawk completed clinical fellowship requirements in Nuclear Medicine at USC, and is now Board Certified by the American Board of Nuclear Medicine. She also completed a Neuroradiology fellowship at USC, and is Board Certified the American Board of Radiology. She served as both the Chief Resident and Chief Neuroradiology Fellow.
Dr. Hawk has held multiple local and national leadership positions, including positions in the American College of Radiology (ACR), the American College of Nuclear Medicine (ACNM) and the Society of Nuclear and Molecular Medicine (SNMMI). Dr. Hawk is an editorial board member of the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR). She has served as the Vice-Chair for Education for the Nuclear Medicine Resident Organization of the ACNM, and the Educational Liaison for the Resident and Fellow Section of the ACR. Currently, she serves on the national ACR Commission for Women and General Diversity as well as the ACR Commission on Nuclear Medicine. Dr. Hawk also sits on the ACR Council Steering Committee.
Dr. Hawk is committed to continually exploring the beautiful applications of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation to image and treat the human body. -
Jeremy J. Heit, MD, PhD
Associate Professor of Radiology (Neuroimaging and Neurointervention) and, by courtesy, of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research seeks to advance our understanding of cerebrovascular disease and to develop new minimally invasive treatments for these diseases. We study ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, cerebral aneurysms, delayed cerebral ischemia, cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), dural arteriovenous fistulae, and other vascular diseases of the brain. We use state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques to non-invasively study these diseases, and we are developing future endovascular technologies to advance neurointerventional surgery.

Matthew Hung
Clinical Instructor, Radiology
BioMatthew Hung, M.D. is a radiologist specializing in Vascular & Interventional Radiology. Dr. Hung earned his M.D. from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in 2018 and was a recipient of the David Geffen Medical Scholarship. He completed his Transitional Year internship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in 2019. Following completion of his integrated Interventional Radiology/Diagnostic Radiology residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in 2024, he joined Stanford University Medical Center as a clinical instructor in the Clinician Educator Line.
Dr. Hung specializes in interventional oncology (minimally invasive cancer treatments including ablation, chemoembolization and radioembolization), the treatment of cirrhosis (end-stage liver disease) and portal hypertension, as well as therapies for uterine fibroids (uterine artery embolization) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (prostate artery embolization).
Dr. Hung is active in clinical research and his research interests include the above clinical domains as well as topics in general interventional radiology ranging from complex drainage to venous access device infections. He has published in peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (JVIR) and presented at several professional society meetings, including the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR). He was also a recipient of the SIR Radiology Resident Research Grant, investigating quality of life and muscle wasting in patients with refractory ascites. -
Elima Hussain
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioDr. Elima is working on developing and optimizing rapid dual-contrast PET/MRI protocols for the comprehensive staging and assessment of rectal cancer. She is working on integrating deep learning-based algorithms for image reconstruction and motion correction. This protocol aims to reduce the patient scan times. She believes this innovative approach can potentially replace multiple imaging exams with a single, efficient scan, benefiting both patients and healthcare systems. Apart from this, her research interests also include translation of quantitative MRI and PET/MRI, radiomics, machine learning for predicting treatment response in rectal cancer, gynecologic malignancies, and inflammatory bowel diseases.
