Simukayi “Simi” Mutasa, MD

I’m a board-certified musculoskeletal radiologist based in New York. I trained in diagnostic radiology at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia, where I served two years as chief resident, and completed my musculoskeletal fellowship at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.

My love of building things started in middle school, when I taught myself to make and code video games. It carried me into engineering: before medical school I was a drilling and completions engineer at Halliburton, and the habit stayed with me. As a resident I worked on more than 60 AI research projects and wrote the code for most of them myself. That work has led to 38 peer-reviewed publications, an NIH-funded resident research grant, and invited faculty roles teaching AI to radiologists at RSNA.

Today I read musculoskeletal and general radiology for hospitals and teleradiology groups through my company, Ugen Imaging. I’m most interested in subspecialty-quality reads delivered anywhere, and in clinical AI that actually holds up in practice.
