Dr. Serai is an MR Scientist and Magnetic Resonance Safety Expert at CHOP, and an Assistant Professor of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania. He received his Bachelor's Degree in Engineering from the University of Mumbai, India, and his Masters of Science and Ph.D. Degrees from the University of Illinois, Chicago.

Dr. Serai is a member of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance (ISMRM), the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), American College of Radiology (ACR), Quantitative Imaging Bio-Markers Alliance (QIBA), and Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR). Dr. Serai additionally serves as an Ad Hoc Peer Reviewer for Pediatric Radiology, Radiology, American Journal of Roentgenology, Academic Radiology, Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Abdominal Imaging, and Journal of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.

Dr. Serai's background allows him to work closely with radiologists to develop protocol, measure quantitative MRI values using mono and bi-exponential decays, and generate visual maps to demonstrate changes in regional pathophysiology, which ultimately translate to clinical application and outcome improvement.

As MRI Physicist and Assistant Professor of Radiology, Dr. Serai has developed and applied MR imaging-based methods for iron quantification, fat quantification, elastography for liver fibrosis, and T1/T2 mapping techniques to suit pediatric needs. Dr. Serai provides assistance in quantitative MR project design, and interpretation and analysis of MR imaging data. These research projects are of direct relevance to the clinical practice of pediatric radiology.
