What clients say about me

"Sotiros was fantastic and very helpful. He provided a detailed report, which set my mind at rest that somebody competant had looked over my MRI. He even pointed out signs of past issues (due to previous head trauma) that would not affect me now but was very handy to see how this had affected my skull structure etc. Fantastic service. "

About me

I am a neuroradiologist at the National Hospital of Neurology and Neurosurgery in London as well as an honorary senior lecturer at the University College London. My academic affiliation with the Institute of Neurology at the University College London enables me to have broad access and collaborations with scientists in clinical and basic research in neuroimaging as well as to contribute to the translation of neuroscience discovery research into treatments for patients with neurological diseases.
I am also a professor of radiology and affiliated research partner at the Department of Neuroradiology at Eberhard Karls University in Germany and hold an MSc. degree in “Advanced Oncology” from the University of Ulm in Germany, where I lecture on neurooncology imaging.
I am clinically involved and academically active in MR-PET imaging, in intraoperative MR imaging and ultra-high-field brain MR spectroscopy as well as metabolic MR imaging. My clinical and basic science research achievements are documented in 101 papers. My h-index is 21 (Sum of times cited: 1120).
I am also a Fellow of the European Society of Head and Neck Radiology (FESHNR) and active in other European radiological and neuroradiological organisations. I have been awarded multiple awards, am an editor of several medical journals, and a PhD supervisor.

    Dr Bisdas has been a great help in identifying an issue which many radiologists have missed so far.
    His annotation of the report to demonstrate his interpretations have also been useful in helping the previously mentioned radiologists correctly review my scans.

    The price is as expected, but works out a lot cheaper as a single payment compared to getting another type of doctor to refer your scans for a second opinion

    And the fact he's UK based under the NHS has meant his opinion won't be discarded by doctors in this country who have a tendency to do that for some reason

    Professor Bisdas provided a highly professional report in which he identified and described rather rare findings that our radiologists had not detected even after two MRIs. Thanks to these findings, we can move forward with treatment and further examinations. Thank you!
