Kafi Hemphill

Kafi Hemphill, MD is a Clinical Fellow in Radiology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) within the School of Medicine and the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences. She is actively engaged in neurointerventional radiology research and clinical practice, with her work focusing on cerebrovascular disorders and diagnostic techniques.

Her research interests span neurointerventional radiology, vascular malformations, cerebrovascular disorders, tinnitus, and lymphatic abnormalities. Hemphill's work demonstrates a strong focus on diagnostic approaches for vascular etiologies of neurological symptoms, particularly pulsatile tinnitus, and innovative treatment techniques for vascular and lymphatic malformations.

Dr. Hemphill's publication record shows consistent contributions to the field of interventional neuroradiology, with recent publications (2023-2024) focusing on diagnostic approaches for pulsatile tinnitus and endovascular treatments for vascular malformations, complemented by earlier significant work on coronavirus-host protein interactions during the pandemic.

Her scientific collaborations include prominent researchers at UCSF such as Matthew Amans, Kazim Narsinh, and Christopher Dowd, indicating strong integration within the neurointerventional radiology community at UCSF.

As a Clinical Fellow in the Department of Radiology, Dr. Hemphill is receiving advanced training in neurointerventional procedures while contributing to clinical research that bridges diagnostic techniques with therapeutic interventions for complex cerebrovascular conditions.
