The Johns Hopkins Hospital
Dr. Vivek Srikar Yedavalli is currently an Associate Professor of Radiology and Radiological Science, Associate Professor of Neurology, the Director of Stroke, Neurovascular, and Perfusion Imaging at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Chief of Neuroradiology at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, and Assistant Director of the Department of Radiology Physician Scientist Incubator Program. Dr. Yedavalli has been recognized nationally as a translational stroke and perfusion imaging researcher and physician-scientist. Within one year of his appointment at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Yedavalli received the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)’s Seed Grant using MRI spectroscopy for prognostication in subacute ischemic stroke. Dr. Yedavalli was then chosen as the inaugural recipient of the Johns Hopkins University Department of Radiology Physician Scientist Incubator Program (RAD-PSI), an internal grant that also confers funding and protected time for his stroke work. The following year, for applying his work on collateralization based on CT perfusion within acute ischemic stroke with artificial intelligence, Dr. Yedavalli was awarded the RSNA Scholar Grant. For his research endeavors, Dr. Yedavalli was previously chosen as the American Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR) Editorial Fellow and then subsequently as a member of the Academy of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging Research’s Council of Early Career Investigators. Thereafter, for his novel translational applications of MRI perfusion techniques to stroke, Dr. Yedavalli was chosen as a Junior Fellow of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Medicine (ISMRM). Dr. Yedavalli became an Editorial Board member of Stroke and an Editor in Training for Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology. For his research endeavors, Dr. Yedavalli was conferred the Junior Faculty Clinical Research Award in 2023. In addition to research, Dr. Yedavalli is an active member of a number of national committees with a strong interest in leadership. He is currently a member of the ASNR Research, Education, Social Media/Website, and Young Professionals Committees. He also served as the Co-Chair of the Social Media Committee for the ASFNR 2019.
