Department of Radiology

Owen Arthurs qualified from the University of Cambridge in 2002, with both medical (MB BChir) and research (PhD) degrees. His PhD focused on the neuronal basis of the functional MR BOLD signal in humans.

He trained in paediatrics (MCRPCH) before entering radiology training, was a Paediatric Interventional Radiology Fellow at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, then one of the first Academic Clinical Fellows in Radiology in the UK, appointed to Cambridge in 2006.  In 2008, he was awarded a Joint Clinical Research Training Fellowship from the Medical Research Council (UK) and Royal College Radiologists, to pursue an MD investigating new techniques for MR imaging in paediatrics, with particular reference to the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts.  He also holds awards from the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR), and most recently has been awarded the RCR 2010 Constance Thornton Fellowship.

Dr. Arthurs has published in several areas of imaging, including neuroimaging, paediatric and neonatal imaging, and has won several awards at European and International conferences. His current research areas include MR imaging of the paediatric and neonatal abdomen, and MR and ultrasound imaging of the paediatric spine. He now sits as a peer-reviewer for several imaging journals.

He also takes an active teaching role in Queens' College Cambridge, where he supervises Anatomy to undergraduate medial students, and has been a Fellow and Assistant Director of Studies since 2007. He is also the Director of Studies for Clinical Medical students at Queens' College.
