Description of Research Expertise

Dr. Roshkovan completed a Thoracic Radiology fellowship and Abdominal Imaging fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. His primary research focus in developing improved measures of cancer detection and therapy response assessment in thoracic oncology. His work centers on functioning as an active member of an interdisciplinary research team dedicated to advances in thoracic oncology including therapeutic clinical trials and development of novel radiomic signatures for non-small cell therapy response prediction and improving therapy response assessment in NSCLC and mesothelioma.

In addition, Dr. Roshkovan is actively engaged in research efforts at the institutional level at Penn as well as the national level where he is an integral part of teams tasked to procure and curate COVID-19 imaging and clinical data so as to accelerate innovation and discovery in improved ways of detecting and characterizing COVID-19 pneumonia. He is also lead in a research project at Penn evaluating utilization of computed tomography (CT) in patients suspected of COVID-19 pneumonia.

He is a member of the Penn Thoracic Oncology Radiomics Working Group, the iMig Pleural Expert Panel and the ACR COVID-19 Registry Steering Committee
