His storied career spans the spectrum from clinical expertise and research to teaching and administrative accomplishments. He became chief of the section in 1992. Under his steady hand, UCSF has continued to be a world- renowned leader in the field of neuroradiology and head/neck imaging.

Dr. Dillon’s many publications range across all areas of Neuroradiology. He has served as Senior Editor of the American Journal of Neuroradiology since 1996, fostering the quantity and quality of research publications in the field. His ability to make complex concepts simple and clear has created visiting professorships for him across the country and internationally.
