Bio

Dr. Santanu Chakraborty is Professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of Ottawa. Dr Chakraborty is a Diagnostic Neuroradiologist with special interest in quantitative MR imaging, acute stroke imaging and spine intervention. He is also involved in projects on radiology informatics, quality control and safety and appropriate utilization. He is strongly involved in clinical teaching of medical students, residents and fellows. He is also involved in multiple research projects as the lead researcher.

Dr Chakraborty has published 62 peer-reveiwed papers, 137 scientific abstracts and has participated as an investigator or principal investigator in 27 grants.

Dr Chakraborty has been the Chair of the committee to develop the ‘Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) Standard on Magnetic Resonance Imaging 2011’ and also the co-chair of the Canadian Heart Rhythm Society (CHRS) and Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) Joint Consensus Statement on Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices.

Research Goals and Interests

1. Predicting intracerebral hemorrhage expansion using the dynamic CT-angiography “spot sign”.
2. Use Of High-Resolution Isotropic/Three dimensional Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Imaging As A Biomarker For The Early Distinction Of Parkinson’s Disease From Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders.
3. Dynamic CT angiography: Utility and clinical application in cases of Brain Death.
4. CT utilization.
5. Value of Dual Energy CT in evaluation of Head and Neck Cancer.
