ÀÇÎѵ¼º½ Me
As a breast radiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. My role allows me to combine direct patient care with teamwork, problem-solving, and preventative medicine. I am passionate about the early detection of breast cancer, utilizing advanced technologies such as mammography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as performing image-guided procedures to diagnose breast cancer effectively.
Utilizing my extensive training and experience, I have developed a particular interest in the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. My commitment to patient care is complemented by my role as the program director of the NYU Breast Imaging fellowship, where I have the privilege of educating and mentoring the next generation of radiologists and breast imagers.
Throughout my career, I have been actively involved in scientific research, particularly in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI), breast MRI, and breast cancer screening. As the clinical lead investigator for our AI model implementation, I have worked to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of breast cancer diagnosis. This model has enabled us to identify additional early-stage breast cancers, improving treatment outcomes for our patients. I have also shared my expertise through regional, national, and international presentations on various breast imaging topics, especially AI.
My journey into medicine was inspired by my experiences at NYU Langone, where I have been a part of the community since my medical school days. The dedication of the physicians and educators here has profoundly influenced my career. I am honored to serve as the specialty chairperson of the American College of Radiology's Breast Imaging Appropriateness Criteria Committee and as the Society of Breast Imaging's representative to the American College of Surgeons National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers. These roles allow me to contribute to the development of guidelines and advance the field of breast imaging.
