Biosketch
As an Emergency & Trauma Radiologist, it is my mission to serve my community by providing high quality, timely diagnosis and treatment of acutely ill and injured patients by means of medical imaging. Through research, education, and national service, I work to advance the quality of that care for patients here in Maryland and beyond. I have authored or coauthored a number of peer-reviewed journal articles, given multiple invited lectures at major Radiology meetings, and served as a manuscript reviewer for several professional journals. I am an active participant and committee member in several radiology societies, including the Radiological Society of North America, the American Roentgen Ray Society, the American College of Radiology, and the American Society of Emergency Radiology. I am fellow in both the American College of Radiology and the American Society of Emergency Radiology.
