Fergus V. Coakley, M.D.

Radiologist

Dr. Fergus Coakley is chief of the abdominal imaging section of the UCSF Medical Center's radiology department. His interests include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the evaluation of prostate cancer, magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), MRI assessment of fetal anomalies, advanced hepatobiliary imaging, computed tomography (CT) characterization of renal masses and virtual colonoscopy.

Coakley earned a medical degree at National University of Ireland. He completed a medical residency in Dublin, Ireland, a radiology residency in Leicester, England, and a fellowship in body imaging at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. He has received numerous awards for his accomplishments in radiology and is board certified in radiology by the American Board of Radiology and the Royal College of Radiologists in London. He also is board certified in medicine by the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland.
