Research Interest

My Research activities are mainly focused on enhancing the role of diagnostic radiology in patient management. My special focus is on women imaging, particularly breast imaging. Additionally, I am exploring the role of breast intervention in patient management and role of radiological screening in breast cancer. Other research interests includes role of shear wave ultrasound elastography in placenta and breast lesions
