Biography

Michael J. Gelfand, MD, is chief of the Section of Nuclear Medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

He received his BA from the University of Michigan and his MD from Stanford University. After two years at the National Institutes of Health, he completed residencies in Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children's and Nuclear Medicine at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

Dr. Gelfand's research interests include I-123-MIBG imaging of neuroblastoma, studies of the clinical utility of genitourinary imaging in children, application of positron emission tomography (PET) and PET / CT in pediatric neoplasia and related diseases, and application of new PET radiopharmaceuticals for imaging in children.

Dr. Gelfand has served as President of the Society of Nuclear Medicine, and served on the Board of Directors of that organization for 10 years.

Dr. Gelfand co-edited the textbooks Effective Use of Computers in Nuclear Medicine and Pediatric Nuclear Imaging. His publications include 79 journal articles and 31 book chapters. He has been an invited lecturer or visiting professor in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Argentina, Brazil, Japan and Australia.
