Rajesh Shah
Clinical Associate Professor, Radiology
Bio I am an interventional radiologist with a particular interest in interventional oncology. I perform a wide range of procedures including ablations of the lung, liver, kidney, bone, and other areas in the body, chemoembolization, embolization, and radioembolization of tumors, biopsies, drainages, and interventions on both the venous and arterial sides. I was the first physician to perform SIR-spheres radioembolization for metastatic tumors to the liver within the VA hospital system, and have been recognized for my teaching of trainees. I am currently the Director of Interventional Radiology and Associate Chief of Radiology at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. My research focuses on HCC and Lung cancer, including the application of Machine Learning/AI and Radiogenomics to lung cancer identification. I also work on Quality in Medicine as the Chair of the Quality and Performance Improvement Division for the Society of Interventional Radiology where we work to define quality measures, gather data via a national IR registry, and develop practice improvement tools.

- MRI and PET/MRI to pelvic malignancies and lymph node staging.
- Whole Body MRI
- MRI guided procedures including biopsies, cryoablation, and high intensity focused ultrasound.
Translational Research Interests
- Development and translation of magnetic resonance imaging technologies to improve both diagnostics and therapeutics
- Molecular imaging and characterization of the tumor microenvironment
- Ultrashort echo time MRI applications in the body
- Developing synergistic MRI methods to complement PET in potential applications for PET/MRI -
Peyman Shokrollahi
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Radiology
Bio Dr. Shokrollahi is a research scholar at the Department of Radiology, with a research focus on developing an artificial intelligence system for preimage protocols on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT) scans. He completed his PhD at the University of Toronto (UofT) in Biomedical Engineering before moving to the Radiology Department in 2020. He earned his master's and a bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. His research focused on developing magnetically actuated devices, MRI-compatible surgical robots, and machine learning techniques for medical applications. He developed and implemented a magnetically actuated microrobot for sampling microbiome in the gastrointestinal tract, an MRI-compatible robot for pediatric bone biopsy, and an automated system for detecting eye movements during sleep. In addition to research, Dr. Shokrollahi taught four courses at the undergraduate and graduate level at UofT and Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada. He is a member of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.

Geoffrey Sonn
Assistant Professor of Urology and, by courtesy, of Radiology at the Stanford University Medical Center
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My interest is in improving prostate cancer diagnosis through MRI and image-targeted prostate biopsy. In collaboration with radiologists at Stanford, we are working to define the optimal role of MRI in prostate cancer. We hope to improve cancer imaging to the point that some men with elevated PSA may safely avoid prostate biopsy. For those who need biopsy, we are evaluating novel MRI-US fusion targeted biopsy, a technique that greatly improves upon the conventional biopsy method.

Tanya Stoyanova
Assistant Professor of Radiology (Cancer Early Detection-Canary Center)
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Our research focuses on understanding fundamental molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development. Currently, we study signaling cascades initiated by cell surface receptors which are involved in: 1) the early event of prostate cancer initiation and 2) regulation of the transition from indolent to metastatic disease. The long term goal of our laboratory is to improve the stratification of indolent from aggressive prostate cancer and aid the development of better therapeutic strategies for the advanced disease.
Additionally, we are interested in understanding molecular mechanism that govern the self-renewal activity of adult stem cells and cancer stem cells. We use molecular biology techniques, cell culture based adult stem cell assays, in vivo tissue regeneration models of cancer.
