Mahati Mokkarala
Assistant Professor of Radiology (Body Imaging)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focus as a new attending will be on evaluating and implementing new technology in the radiology workplace including how technology can benefit private practice and academic radiologists.
This research focus is based on my current and previous research projects and interests. As an abdominal imaging fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, I worked on projects understanding how to apply spectral CT data in a clinical and research setting. Current projects include determining if spectral CT data can quantify normal organ characteristics. Understanding the age-old question of ‘what is normal’ is essential for determining if spectral CT data can help radiologists identify and characterize pathology.
Other previous research projects with interventional and diagnostic radiology colleagues at MIR include improving and evaluating the efficacy of multiple embolization agents. Additional diagnostic radiology projects as a resident included optimizing artificial intelligence programs that streamline radiology critical action items and better characterize glioblastoma imaging patterns. All projects had a common theme, focusing on implementing technology that could benefit both clinical and radiology practice and making sure that these tools would be useful for radiologists and other specialists. Radiology is unique because of how essential imaging interpretation is for modern medicine. An academic radiologist should be the leader in both developing and successfully integrating technology in the clinical world. -
