Spencer Behr, MD
Associate Professor
Radiology
School of Medicine

In 2010, he completed a four-year Diagnostic Radiology residency at the Lahey Clinic Medical Center in Burlington, Massachusetts, followed by a fellowship in Abdominal Imaging and Nuclear Medicine at UCSF.

Dr. Behr has subspecialty training in abdominal imaging and nuclear medicine, and his research interests are focused on molecular and hybrid imaging translational research. He has selectively pursued interdepartmental projects to foster cross-disciplinary discussions and optimize the clinical impact of these projects.

Projects include: FDG PET in breast cancer, comparing breast cancer molecular subtypes with their respective FDG PET and breast MRI findings, CT findings in Celiac Disease, fluoro-18-fluorothymidine (FLT) PET as a potential marker of early response in patients with metastatic melanoma, CT appearance of malabsorption, and clinical applications of iodine-124 PET/CT in thyroid cancer.

Expertise: Abdominal Imaging and Nuclear Medicine Specialty: Molecular and hybrid imaging translational research

Professional Interests: Translational research in the fields of prostate and the development of novel imaging techniques using PET/CT and PET/MR
