Michael Ohliger, MD, PhD
Associate Professor
Radiology
School of Medicine

He completed his residency in Diagnostic Radiology and fellowship training in Abdominal Imaging at UCSF. He joined the UCSF faculty in 2013.

Dr. Ohliger’s main research involves the development and clinical translation of new MRI techniques for the abdomen and pelvis, with a focus on molecular imaging of liver tumors, liver metabolism and liver injury. Current research projects involve using hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI to image liver tumors as well as fatty liver disease. Dr. Ohliger also has a major research effort (together with Dr. David Wilson and Oren Rosenberg) developing novel methods for imaging bacterial injection.
