I have broad interest in diagnostic decision-making and the use of diagnostic imaging. My research focus is acute kidney injury, specifically contrast-induced nephropathy. I am interested in understanding how this type of kidney injury affects the short and long-term health of patients, in improving the identification patients at risk and preventing contrast-induced nephropathy. As an emergency physician, I understand the importance of advancements in diagnostic testing, especially CT imaging. I also recognize the unique challenges of integrating research advancements in the clinical setting. In my research, I take an integrative approach that involves a unique collaboration with nephrologists, radiologists, biostatisticians and operational engineers to evaluate how new biological markers and clinical decision rules will perform in the clinical setting.
