About Me

I am passionate about advancing my expertise in cardiovascular and thoracic imaging, with a strong focus on medical education, teaching, quality care and the integration of artificial intelligence in radiology.

I enjoy watching animated movies, and cartoons, while also indulging in cricket, table tennis, Urdu books and poetry. Traveling with brother (Tariq), friends (Fawad, Qaisar, Yasser) and family is something I cherish. I am happily married to my beautiful caring wife, Sadia, and we are blessed with a wonderful loving daughter, Shanzay.
