Research and Interests Areas

Musculoskeletal Radiology (spine, coccydynia, bone and joint pathology, calcific tendinitis)

Neuroradiology and neurovascular imaging (cerebral aneurysms, hemimegalencephaly, CNS lymphoma, white matter hyperintensities)

Orbital and ocular imaging (Graves’ ophthalmopathy, orbital trauma, orbital masses, lacrimal gland measurements)

Vascular imaging and carotid atherosclerosis, particularly in elderly patients living at high altitude

Interventional neuroradiology and endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms

Emergency radiology and trauma imaging (head trauma in infants, emergency orbital trauma)

Radiologic biomarkers and quantitative imaging (carotid intima-media thickness, BNP/BDNF, morphometric analyses)

Artificial intelligence / decision-support in radiology (e.g., ACL MRI decision support with ChatGPT).
