About Me
As a radiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to advancing patient care through innovative imaging techniques of the musculoskeletal system. My passion lies in leveraging my background in physics and engineering to develop and implement cutting-edge magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies that enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
With more than a decade of experience in the field, I have specialized in creating and refining imaging techniques that improve the visibility of bone and soft tissues near metal implants. This includes developing new B1 mapping techniques for B1 shimming near metal hardware, which significantly enhances the quality of MRI scans for patients with joint arthroplasty (joint replacement) or other orthopedic hardware. Additionally, I have been at the forefront of multi-parametric MRI, which non-invasively generates biomarkers of bone health, aiding in the early detection of implant loosening and failure.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring that my research and clinical practices are aligned with the latest advances in imaging technology. My work includes translational studies to test and troubleshoot novel techniques and clinical trials designed to implement these techniques in patient care. I am also actively involved in developing and implementing MRI techniques at low-field systems, including artificial intelligence–enhanced quantitative imaging integrated in modern whole-body scanners.
My journey into radiology was inspired by a deep-seated interest in the intersection of technology and medicine. I pursued my MD and PhD to combine my love for engineering with a desire to make a tangible impact on patient health. At NYU Langone, I collaborate with a diverse team, ensuring that our patients receive comprehensive and coordinated care. I am committed to fostering strong partnerships with my patients, prioritizing their overall health and wellbeing through responsive and personalized care.
