Daehyun Yoon, PhD
Assistant Professor
Radiology
School of Medicine

He has been involved with development of research imaging techniques and translation of those into clinical protocols for patient care.

Dr. Yoon’s research interest is in the development of PET/MRI and MRI methods for identifying peripheral pain generators in the musculoskeletal system. His recent projects include PET/MRI of various chronic pain conditions (low back pain, complex regional pain syndrome, CSF leak, etc.), high-resolution/quantitative MRI of peripheral nerves, and artifact-free MRI near metallic implants. Dr. Yoon is embarking on a new NIH/ NIAMS-funded project as a co-investigator, which aims to enable [18F]FDG PET/MRI near metallic hip implants for the improved identification of local sources causing persistent pain following total hip arthroplasties.
