Donald Chakeres
Donald W. Chakeres, M.D., FACR, (born May 27, 1950) is a physician and Professor of Radiology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, specializing in neuroradiology, ultra-high field MRI, and physics unification models.
Biography[edit]
Donald William Chakeres was born May 27, 1950. He received a, BA in Chemistry from Capital University and a MD from Ohio State University College of Medicine, followed by a Radiology Residency at Dartmouth Medical Schoo;, a Neuroradiology Fellowship at University of Oregon, and a Interventional Neuroradiology Fellowship at University of Zurich.
He married Linda (maiden name: Miller)(deceased 2009); they had 3 children.
Work[edit]
He is a specialist in Radiology, Neuroradiology, High Field MRI, Unified Physics Models , known in particular for work on High resolution CT and MRI of the temporal bone and skull base, high field MRI safety and imaging.
He has been instrumental in developing and implementing advanced techniques for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) from 1.5 Telsa to 8 Tesla (the measurement of strength of the magnet), now used on commercial and research units. Many of the standard methods of evaluating the temporal bone and skull base utilizing CT and MRI were developed at Ohio State where Chakeres served as Director of the MRI Research Division of the Department of Radiology for a few years. During 1999 to 2004, he and his colleagues at Ohio State developed the first ultra-high field MRI at 8 T. Their work led to the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revising its safety standards to include exposure up to 8 T as a non-significant risk, allowing for physicians to gain far greater images for medical diagnosis and treatment. There are now many ultra-high field MRI systems throughout the world and they are utilized as a standard research imaging modality.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Chakeres' primary clinical and research focus has been on high resolution CT and MRI of the head and neck. His work has led to the advancement of techniques used in clinical evaluation of patients with tumors and other pathologies. He served as Section Chief of Neuroradiology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and School of Public Health from 1985 - 2009. He previously was head of Neuroradiology at the University of Texas Health and Sciences Center, San Antonio, from 1982 to 1985.
He served as President of the American Society of Head and Neck Radiology from 1994 to 1995 and became a Fellow of the American College of Radiology(FACR)in 1998.
Chakeres has published more than 100 papers, contributed to 84 publications, and co-authored the book with Petra Schmalbrock PHD, Fundamentals of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. He currently serves on the editorial boards of the Neuroradiology, and the American Journal of Neuroradiology. He is a former associate editor of Radiology, a journal published monthly by the Radiology Society of North America (RSNA) since 1923. http://www.vitals.com/doctors/Dr_Donald_Chakeres/credentials
Chakeres has participated in dozens of national and international (primarily Europe) invited lectures, and has presented at approximately 65 scientific meetings in the U.S. and abroad. The inventor of seven United States patents, his work has been shown in 50 scientific exhibits.
