Georg Feuerriegel, MD

Dr. Feuerriegel earned his medical degree in 2018 from the Technical University of Munich (TUM). He wrote his doctoral dissertation in musculoskeletal radiology during a research scholarship at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) in 2015. He subsequently completed his radiology residency at the University Hospital rechts der Isar, where he developed a strong focus on musculoskeletal imaging research, with particular emphasis on the clinical implementation of CT-like bone MRI techniques and deep learning-based methods for accelerating MRI acquisition.

 

In 2024, Dr. Feuerriegel completed a fellowship in musculoskeletal radiology at the Balgrist University Hospital, University of Zurich, one of Europe’s leading centers for musculoskeletal medicine. During this time, he further advanced his research on quantitative MRI biomarkers, CT-like bone MRI, and deep learning-based image acceleration and enhancement, with a strong emphasis on translating advanced imaging technologies into clinically robust tools that improve patient care.

 

Prior to joining the UCSF faculty, Dr. Feuerriegel concurrently served as an Assistant Professor of Radiology at the University Hospital rechts der Isar, TUM, and as a neuroradiology attending at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Hospital Munich. In these roles, he played a central role in restructuring resident and medical student education through the implementation of modern teaching concepts, including hybrid and digital learning formats. For his contributions to medical education, he was awarded the Young Lecturer Award by TUM in 2022.

 

In addition to his clinical and research activities, Dr. Feuerriegel is actively engaged in academic service. He serves as a peer reviewer for leading journals, including Radiology, and as an editorial board member of Radiology in Training. His work has been published in high-impact journals such as Radiology, Investigative Radiology, AJR, and European Radiology. He is a frequent invited speaker at national and international meetings and has received multiple research awards from the Swiss Society of Radiology, the Swiss Society of Skeletal Radiology, and the German Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology in recognition of his contributions to musculoskeletal imaging research.
