About me

I have been working in the field of diagnostic imaging since 1990, first for PhD in the diagnosis and management of pulmonary embolism and subsequently undergoing radiology training. I moved to the UK in 1999 and established a PET service and a pulmonary MRI programme. In 2004, I moved to the USA, where I worked as a professor in Radiology, Medicine and Biomedical Engineering. I set up a cardiac CT programme there and was heavily involved in cardiac and pulmonary imaging research. In 2009, I took up my current position as Chair of Clinical Radiology and Consultant Cardiothoracic Radiologist at the University of Edinburgh. My main interests are lung diseases, pulmonary vascular disorders and cardiac diseases, including oncological chest diagnoses.
