Medical Training
I am a British trained, GMC-registered consultant clinical radiologist with subspecialty interest in children’s imaging (i.e. paediatric radiology).
I graduated from medical school in 2008, and started my specialty radiology training in 2010 at St. George’s Hospital, London.
After completing general radiology training, I embarked upon subspecialty paediatric ‘body’ imaging fellowships at two world renowned children’s hospitals – namely Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, UK (2014-15) and The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada (2015-16).
Research
I embarked upon a PhD research degree, funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR), based at University College London (UCL).
My PhD was entitled ‘Novel Applications and Refinements of Ultrasound Techniques in Perinatal and Infant Death Investigation’. The work was successfully defended in November 2020.
During my doctoral studies, I gained valuable experience in reporting paediatric post-mortem radiography, MRI and CT for perinatal losses, coronial and forensic cases. I developed the ‘INcision-less TArgeted Core Tissue’ (INTACT) ultrasound guided biopsy technique for perinatal organ sampling at autopsy, and also helped to run the UK’s first clinical post-mortem micro-CT imaging facility.
Current
I am currently an academic paediatric radiology consultant based at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London with an honorary associate professorship at the Great Ormond Street Hospital Institute of Child Health, UCL. I am the Royal College of Radiologists Roentgen Professor 2025.
My research is currently funded by an NIHR Advanced Fellowship award where I am researching ways in which artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to help radiologists better diagnose diseases on children’s imaging.
