Get to Know Me

As a dual board-certified diagnostic radiologist and nuclear medicine doctor, I am committed to excellence in oncologic imaging, clinical care, and teaching residents and fellows. I have more than 25 years of experience in the fields of radiology and nuclear medicine, with expertise in molecular oncologic imaging.

I provide clinical care by interpreting PET/CT scans and a broad variety of conventional nuclear medicine studies that are used for the diagnosis and staging of cancer, as well as to see how treatment has worked. I collaborate closely with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and surgeons to provide comprehensive and compassionate care for people with different types of cancer such as breast cancer, lung cancer, and lymphoma.

I trained in both Europe and the United States. My interest in radiology began in medical school. I became fascinated with advanced imaging techniques and their critical role in diagnosing cancer and managing the disease. Later, I was captivated by the molecular approach to imaging and targeted therapies, and molecular oncologic imaging became my main interest. 

What I Do at MSK

I'm a radiologist, which is a doctor with special training in using imaging to diagnose and treat disease. Imaging includes X-rays, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
