He serves as a reviewer for multiple Radiology and Clinical Oncology publications. Kieran McHugh, MB, FRCR, FRCPI, is the lead radiologist for pediatric oncology imaging at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, UK. Dr. McHugh graduated from University College, Galway, Ireland, and did his radiology residency in Southampton, UK. After two fellowships in pediatric radiology in Toronto, Canada, and Sydney, Australia, Dr. McHugh initially worked as a consultant pediatric radiologist at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, UK. He has since been on the staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children for 20 years. Dr. McHugh has been chairman of the radiology group within the UK Children’s Cancer Study Group (UKCCSG, now CCLG) and was chairman of the British Society of Paediatric Radiology for four years. He is the sole author of onetextbook and a co-applicant on more than ten successful grant applications. He has been a central radiology reviewer on numerous European pediatric oncology trials and has authored approximately 200 peer-reviewed publications.
