Profile

I did my undergraduate training in JSS Medical College, Mysore under Rajiv Gandhi University of health sciences, Bangalore, Karnataka, India, from 2007 to 2013. Thereafter I completed my masters in the year 2017 at JSS Medical College, JSS University, Mysore, and Karnataka, India. Soon after, I joined as senior resident in the same institute and presently am working in the capacity of Assistant professor in the department of Radiology.

• I am competent in attending to various sub-specialties of radiology such as chest radiology, neuro-radiology, GI-radiology, uro-radiology, cardio-vascular radiology, musculoskeletal, interventional radiology, emergency radiology, pediatric radiology and women’s imaging. I can independently conduct and interpret all routine and special radiologic and imaging investigations
• Am able to provide radiological services in acute emergency and trauma including its medicolegal aspects.
• Competent to independently decide and perform the various image-guided interventional procedures for diagnosis and therapeutic management.
• I have acquired knowledge and teaching capabilities to conduct teaching programs for undergraduates, post graduates as well as paramedical and technical personnel.
• I formulate basic research protocols and carry out research in the field of radiology- related clinical problems and have to my credit nearly 10 publications.
• In near future, I intend to sub-specialize, and pursue my keen interest in the field of interventional radiology. Am also keen on sports related injuries and wish to hone my skills through a fellowship in musculoskeletal radiology.
