Clinical focus

Radiologist with high expertise in the diagnosis of neurological pathologies in children. Special interest in paediatric brain tumours, paediatric epilepsy and neurogenetic disorders, inner ear malformations and paediatric head and neck pathologies.

About me

I am a Paediatric Neuroradiologist at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, the biggest paediatric hospital in the UK and one of the biggest in the world. It is a centre of excellence in diagnosing and treating complex paediatric diseases with a large neuroscience department. I am also a consultant neuroradiologist at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in London.

I completed a fellowship in paediatric neuroradiology at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada, in 2015 and spent one year at the University Hospital of Leuven, Belgium, in 2012, deepening my knowledge in advanced magnetic resonance (MR) techniques.

My main goal is to help clinicians manage complex neurological and neurosurgical cases, providing high accuracy in diagnosing diseases of the brain, spine, head and neck, and inner ears. My daily tasks include reporting complex CT and MRI paediatric scans of the brain and spine, including suspected non-accidental injuries, and participating in strategic multidisciplinary meetings in case of suspected child abuse.

My main research interests include paediatric brain tumours, epilepsy, inner ear malformations, and paediatric head and neck pathologies.

I am a member of the European Society of Neuroradiology and editorial board member of "Neuroradiology", the official journal of the European Society of Neuroradiology, and "Child Nervous System", the journal of the European Society of Paediatric Neurosurgery. I have co-authored 62 scientific peer-reviewed papers in international radiology journals, all in the field of Neuroradiology, and I have edited 4 book chapters.
