Description of Clinical Expertise
I specialize in advanced neuroimaging of the brain, spine, and head and neck, with expertise in techniques that support precise diagnosis and clinical decision-making. In addition, I perform a wide range of image-guided procedures, including biopsies, myelography, epidural injections, and targeted blood patches, steroid injections. I am equally passionate about education, providing hands-on teaching and mentorship to residents and fellows as they develop expertise in neuroradiology.Description of Research Expertise
My research focuses on advanced neuroimaging techniques, including tractography and MR spectroscopy, to better characterize brain connectivity, metabolism, and disease processes. Through these methods, I aim to improve diagnostic precision, guide treatment planning, and expand our understanding of complex neurologic disorders.Selected Publications
