Daniel Margolis, M.D.

A Short Biography:

Dr. Margolis is in charge of virtual colonography at UCLA. He is interested in the use of MRI for characterization of cancer and efficacy of treatment. Dr. Margolis has been a co-director of prostate imaging at UCLA for nearly 10 years, where over 500 magnetic resonance imaging studies of the prostate per year are performed for diverse indications including pre-surgical staging, biopsy guidance, and radiotherapy planning. Their findings have been presented at national and international meetings, and have resulted in many publications, including 6 so far this year, and it is the first institution to have presented dynamic contrast MRI of the prostate using the hybrid pulse sequence TWIST and the use of diffusion tensor imaging for the neurovascular bundles. In addition to clinical and research support, Dr. Margolis lectures on the use of advanced imaging techniques for prostate and renal imaging locally and at regional urological meetings, including UCLA's State-of-the-Art Urology, Prostate Cancer Research Institute, and recent ICPME Webinars.
