Biography
Professor Jinkins completed his Medical Degree at the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas and his Radiology Residency at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. He subsequently attended Neuroradiology Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard University, Boston, Massachusetts. His most recent research has encompassed the clinical development and initial clinical research on positional/kinetic imaging of the spine using the first dedicated upright, weight-bearing, dynamic kinetic MRI unit (UprightTM MRI). Other current research includes the study of the practical applications of intrathecal gadolinium enhanced MR myelography/cisternography, the radioanatomic analysis of degenerative changes of the discal and nondiscal structures of the spine, and the anatomic-physiologic delineation of spinal syndromes. He has published or has in press as author, co-author, or editor a combined total of over 275 textbooks, textbook chapters, scientific articles, abstracts, editorials, and digital teaching matter. His most recent textbooks are entitled: "Atlas of Neuroradiologic Embryology, Anatomy and Variants" (Lippincott, Williams and Williams, Philadelphia, 2000), "Spinal Restabilization Procedures: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Aspects of Intervertebral Fusion Cages, Artificial Discs and Mobile Implants" (Elsevier, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 2002), and "Emergency Neuroradiology" (Berlin-Heidelberg, 2006). Worldwide, he has presented a total of over 400 scientific papers and invited lectures, and has contributed more than 75 scientific posters and exhibits. He is a Fellow of the American College of Radiology (F.A.C.R.: Reston, VA), founder and past President of the American Society of Spine Radiology (ASSR: Oak Brook, IL), past Chairman of the Texas Chapter of the Explorers Club and present Fellow of the Explorers Club (F.E.C.: New York City, NY).
