Biography

Dr. Elizabeth George is a neuroradiologist, a specialist in diagnosing nervous system disorders with advanced imaging technologies, including CT and MRI. She cares for both children and adults, and has particular interests in fetal and pediatric brain imaging and in head and neck radiology. She also performs minimally invasive procedures to treat spinal pain with CT-guided injections.

George's research focuses on using advanced imaging techniques to study fetal brain development and neurodevelopmental disorders. She has received numerous awards for her research, including the American Society of Neuroradiology's Scholar Award in 2020.

George earned her medical degree from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi. She completed a residency in radiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital, followed by a fellowship in neuroradiology at UCSF.
