Fetal, Neonatal and Pediatric Neuroradiology

Dr. Stephen Kralik is an Associate Professor of Radiology at Baylor College of Medicine and a Pediatric Neuroradiologist at the Texas Childrens Hospital in Houston, Texas. His interests include all clinical areas of pediatric neuroradiology, particularly the implementation of new imaging techniques to improve diagnoses of neurological disorders, including functional MRI, MR perfusion, and MR Spectroscopy. His research interests include the diagnosis of pediatric brain and spine tumors with advanced imaging techniques such as perfusion and diffusion imaging, understanding the effects of medical therapy on the brain in these patients, and using advanced imaging techniques in neonates and premature infants to improve understanding of brain injuries.

Dr. Nilesh Desai is the Division Chief of Neuroradiology at Texas Children’s Hospital and Associate Professor of Radiology at Baylor College of Medicine. He is board-certified in Neuroradiology and completed fellowships in both Neuroradiology and Pediatric Neuroradiology with Fetal MRI. He performs all aspects of neuroradiology and fetal imaging. His research interests include brain injury in congenital heart disease, non-accidental trauma, and sickle cell disease. He is a recipient of the Outstanding Clinician Award from Emory University School of Medicine Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences.

Dr. Avner Meoded is an Associate Professor of Radiology at Baylor College of Medicine and a Neuroradiologist at the Texas Childrens Hospital in Houston, Texas. His research focuses on pediatric neuroimaging, specifically the application of advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to study multiple pediatric neurologic disorders. His projects evaluate how findings from advanced MRI modalities change during development, such as maturation of white matter tracts using diffusion MRI. He also applies quantitative methods to study structural and functional connectivity to better understand mechanisms of neuroplasticity in children with congenital malformations, stroke, and traumatic brain injury.

Thierry A.G.M. Huisman is the Radiologist-in-Chief and Chair of the Department of Radiology at Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) in Houston, USA, and holds the Edward B. Singleton Chair of Radiology. He is a tenured Professor of Radiology, Pediatrics, Neurosurgery, Neurology, Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine and holds adjunct Professor Appointments at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Neurosurgery and Pediatrics. Before TCH, he served at Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore, where he was Chairman of the Department of Imaging and Imaging Science at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Director of the Division of Pediatric Radiology, Director and founder of the Division of Pediatric Neuroradiology, and Co-Director of the Neurointensive Care Nursery (NICN), the Johns Hopkins Fetal Program, and the Center for Translational and Molecular Imaging (CTMI). Prior to Johns Hopkins, he was Chairman and Radiologist-in-Chief of the Department of Diagnostic Imaging at the University Children’s Hospital Zurich. He graduated from Medical School at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and completed residencies in Radiology and Pediatrics and fellowships in Pediatric Radiology and Neuroradiology at the University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland. Dr. Huisman’s expertise and research focus on advanced, quantitative, precision imaging in the field of Neuroradiology. He has given numerous national and international invited lectures, published many articles, reviews, book chapters, and text books, serves on scientific committees, and has organized national and international meetings. He was a founding member of the Swiss Symposium in Pediatric Neuroradiology and the Neurointensive Care Nursery at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Huisman served as a faculty member of the AIRP course in Washington, DC, and is a course advisor for the IDKD course in Davos, Switzerland. He has built multidisciplinary programs, is involved in mentorship programs, and is a reviewer for scientific journals and an editorial member of journals. He served as president of the American Society of Pediatric Neuroradiology and the Eastern Neuroradiological Society (ENRS), is a Fellow of the International Cancer Imaging Society, Fellow of the American College of Radiology, and is an elected President of the International Cancer Imaging Society. He is also a senior editor of the American Journal of Neuroradiology.
