When I look at any imaging case – whether in HPB, GI or post-mortem imaging, I always think – what is your story? To me, each case is a riveting puzzle on the cause/s for a patient’s symptoms with clues provided by the referring clinician – the radiology version of Sherlock Holmes! The different constellation and patterns of pathology and/or injuries reveals the cause of the patient’s ailments.

I find this especially reflective of post-mortem imaging, where the departed can no longer share their story on what has happened to them. I take great pride in being able to break this silence and to tell their story on their behalf – to be their voice beyond the grave to the very best of my ability. I advocate working closely with pathologists and coroners to ensure that the cause of death is always in agreement only after review of all evidence available, avoiding the need for invasive autopsy where possible. I am passionate about helping to develop local post mortem imaging services (forensic and natural death) for NHS trusts to provide local communities with access to PMCT services.

I am also very enthusiastic about improving liver imaging services and have already embarked on quality improvement projects in collaboration with Addenbrookes’ hospital (Cambridge) since joining Bedfordshire NHS trust and am introducing the local use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in liver and endovascular services.

I keep myself regularly up to date by attending yearly workshops and conferences including ESGAR, RSNA and ISFRI; as one never stops learning – even an expert!
