Esther Yuh, M.D.

Neuroradiologist

Dr, Esther Yu is a neuroradiologist at UCSF Medical Center who uses imaging technology to diagnose and treat disorders of the brain, spine, neck and central and peripheral nervous systems. Her expertise includes image-guided spine treatments and computer-aided detection of head trauma and other neurological disorders. She is certified by the American Board of Radiology.

Yu earned a medical degree at Stanford University School of Medicine and completed an internal medicine internship at Stanford Hospital and Clinics. At UCSF, she completed a diagnostic radiology residency and a clinical fellowship in neuroradiology. She has received several honors, including the General Electric Association of University Radiologists Research Academic Fellowship, UCSF Department of Radiology's Outstanding Teaching Fellow and a nomination for UCSF Medical Center's Exceptional Physician Award. Yu is an assistant professor of neuroradiology at UCSF.
