| Research Narrative:
I am an Abdominal Radiologist and am involved in both diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology procedures. My research interests focus primarily on image-guided interventions such as biopsy, drainage and tumor ablation procedures. The use of PET/CT to guide interventions and the use of PET/CT to improve the intraprocedural assessment of tumor ablation procedures is a particular interest. Most of my studies have been retrospective, clinical research projects, but I have a prospective study with industry funding that will begin this fall. Another ongoing project is a collaborative effort with initial seed funding from the BWH/Innovation Hub to develop a needle track cautery device to minimize bleeding risk and tumor seeding along the needle biopsy track.
