    Maggie Chung, MD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at the University of California, San Francisco, specializing in breast imaging. She earned her medical degree from the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, completed her internship at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego, and completed both her diagnostic radiology residency and breast imaging fellowship at UCSF. During residency, she received the Elmer Ng Outstanding Resident Award, the Margulis Society Resident Research Award, and the RSNA Roentgen Resident/Fellow Research Award.

    Her research is supported by the National Institutes of Health, Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and Radiological Society of North America. Dr. Chung’s research focuses on the development and clinical translation of artificial intelligence tools for breast imaging. Her work spans simulated contrast-enhanced breast MRI using deep learning, breast cancer risk prediction models for personalized screening, and the use of risk models to support expedited mammogram assessment.

    Dr. Chung is a member of the Science and Technology Resource Group within UCSF’s Center for Intelligent Imaging (ci²) and UCSF Clinical Trials Committee. She has served on the UCSF Radiology Residency Admissions Committee, the Quality Assurance Committee and as a UCSF representative to the California Radiological Society.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication.
