About Richard L. Wahl, MD
Richard L. Wahl, MD, is a professor at Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology (MIR) at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and served as the director of MIR from 2014 to 2023. An alumnus, Wahl completed a diagnostic radiology residency and nuclear medicine fellowship at MIR. Prior to being named director at MIR, he was director of the Division of Nuclear Medicine at Johns Hopkins University and the first recipient of the Henry N. Wagner Jr. Professorship.

Wahl is a leader in the use of PET scans to diagnose human cancers and other diseases and was among the first to harness the power of the immune system to precisely target radiation therapy to cancers, a technique that has become known as radioimmunotherapy. He has been at the forefront of efforts to combine quantitative data from multiple kinds of scans to form so-called fusion images that can help physicians more precisely diagnose and characterize cancers.
