Adam Dmytriw
Adam Dmytriw MD MSc is a resident physician in the Department of Medical Imaging, University of Toronto. His main area of research is diagnostic and therapeutic neuroradiology.

Currently, his diagnostic projects include investigations into diffusion-weighted imaging and its applications in brain and head & neck oncology. His interventional research comprises the study of intracranial aneurysms and vascular malformations of the central nervous system, as well as and percutaneous spine intervention. He is also involved in a series of large-scale research low-dose computed tomography and magnetoencephalography.

Adam's investigation at the Neuroeconomics Lab was centred around the implicit visuomotor response, the results of which were presented locally as well as internationally at the meeting of the American Society of Functional Neuroradiology. The paper is forthcoming.

His goal is to apply his passion for neuroradiology towards novel diagnostic and therapeutic ends, as well as contribute to teaching and the medical humanities.
