Dr. Robert Flavell is a radiologist who cares for both adults and children, and specializes in nuclear medicine, the use of small amounts of radioactive materials to evaluate organ systems. He is chief of molecular imaging and therapeutics for the UCSF Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging.

In research, Flavell focuses on developing new methods of diagnosing and treating cancer using molecular imaging technology, which shows what is taking place in the body at a cellular and molecular level.

After earning a doctorate in chemical biology at the Rockefeller University, Flavell earned his medical degree at Weill Cornell Medicine. At UCSF, he completed a residency in diagnostic radiology, followed by a fellowship in nuclear medicine.

    Decorative Caduceus

    PET [89Zr]DFO-starPEG in Solid Tumors

    The median and range for intra-tumoral SUVmax within metastatic lesions will be descriptively reported, to assess for intra-tumoral heterogeneity and differences in uptake by site of disease.

    Decorative Caduceus

    Imaging Study of [89Zr]DFO-YS5 for Detecting CD46 Positive Malignancy in Multiple Myeloma

    Defined as the rate of lesions with positive uptake when compared against 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) positivity. Sensitivity estimated based on lesion level without considering the location of the le...

    Decorative Caduceus

    PET Imaging Study of 89Zr-DFO-YS5 in Men With Prostate Cancer

    For Cohort A, the optimal time point will be selected based on optimal maximun Standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of metastatic lesions, and ratio of SUVmax to blood pool. Due to the limited samples, the investigator will use all ...
