I have published in the areas of MR physics, MR safety, patient safety.
We described a simple technique to mitigate the artifact on Spine MRI caused by pedicle screws (used for fusion procedures.) It was gratifying to be asked for a copy of my slides by Maurice Castillo, past president of ASNR and currently chief of neuroradiology at UNC. Regarding MR safety, I noticed that prior publications had incorrectly described the point of maximum attractive force and the maximal attractive force was up to 70-80 % higher than the force measured at the previously accepted location. This could affect the determination of whether implants are deemed safe or not. Regarding patient safety, we did a survey of training programs and noted that half of fellowship programs were not following CDC guidelines for wearing facemasks during myelography.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. Kagetsu has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.
Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
