About Rami Eldaya
After completion of Neuroradiology fellowship at Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine at St. Louis in 2017 Dr. Eldaya joined the staff at Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology before joining M.D. Anderson in 2022.
Dr. Eldaya's clinical and research interests focus on spine imaging and has published on spine imaging in the field of cerebrospinal leaks (CSF leaks) and artificial intelligence in the exploration of early detection of degenerative disease. Dr. Eldaya is also the lead author of the American College of Radiology white paper on Cervical Spine Neck pain, which serves as the guideline for the society's recommendation on imaging of the cervical spine. At MD Anderson, Dr. Eldaya has developed an interest in implementing advanced imaging techniques such as MR spectroscopy in spine imaging. Dr. Eldaya has also given multiple local and national talks on spine imaging.
