Gary M. Hollenberg

Gary M. Hollenberg, M.D. serves as a Professor of Clinical Imaging Sciences at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry within the Department of Imaging Sciences. He is a key member of both the University of Rochester Medical Faculty Group (URMFG) and Accountable Health Partners (AHP), specializing in Body and Musculoskeletal MRI and Cross-Sectional Imaging with over 16 years of clinical experience in diagnostic radiology.

His educational foundation includes a Medical Doctorate from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry (1990), followed by an Internship in Internal Medicine at Highland Hospital of Rochester (1990-1991), a Radiology Residency at Rochester General Hospital (1991-1995), and a Cross-Sectional Imaging Fellowship at the University of Rochester Medical Center (1995-1996). He maintains active certification from the American Board of Radiology in Diagnostic Radiology.

Dr. Hollenberg's research program bridges musculoskeletal radiology and prostate oncology imaging. Early career work established him in spinal MRI classification systems and tendon ultrasound diagnostics, while recent publications demonstrate a strategic pivot toward advanced prostate cancer imaging. His investigations focus on correlating MRI findings with clinical outcomes, particularly in developing quantitative biomarkers for prostate cancer detection and refining MR/US fusion biopsy techniques to guide treatment decisions in urology.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2000-2025) reveals a distinct trajectory: foundational musculoskeletal studies (2000-2003) centered on spine/wrist imaging and tendon pathologies have transitioned to a dominant prostate cancer focus (2016-2025). This evolution reflects growing clinical demand for precision imaging in urologic oncology, with his work increasingly appearing in high-impact urology journals while maintaining methodological roots in advanced MRI techniques.

His scientific recognition includes:

• PROSE Award for publishing excellence (2016)
• Election as Fellow of the American College of Radiology (2014)
• NIH Summer Research Fellowship during medical training (1987-1988)

Dr. Hollenberg contributes to academic medicine through editorial service on The Journal of The University of Rochester Medical Center (1989-1990) and as a Medical Student Interviewer for admissions (1988-1990). His research funding includes the Department of Radiology Fischer fund as co-investigator for Doppler sonography of the patellar tendon (2000-2001), demonstrating sustained grant acquisition capability across both musculoskeletal and prostate imaging domains.

Professionally, he maintains active leadership through the Rochester Roentgen Ray Society (serving as past president) and membership in major national societies including the American College of Radiology, Radiological Society of North America, American Roentgen Ray Society, New York State Radiological Society, and Society of Skeletal Radiology. These affiliations facilitate multidisciplinary collaborations that drive innovation in imaging science and clinical application.
