With over 2 years of experience in product design, development, and MR scanning optimization, I bring expertise in IoT technologies and compliance with global standards, and advanced imaging techniques.
Thesis work - Development of Isotropic Diffusion-Weighted Imaging for Clinical Application
🔅 Designing and optimizing isotropic diffusion-weighted imaging sequences to improve diagnostic accuracy in fetal, overcoming motion artifacts, and enhancing resolution through innovative gradient waveforms.
I am a Biomedical Engineer with experience in developing AI-driven solutions for medical imaging, diagnostics, and digital health. I have contributed to research in areas such as dermatological disease classification, segmentation problems, and health chat bots. I am passionate about building technology that enhances clinical decision-making and improves patient care.
I am working on AI-driven medical image analysis to improve the quantitative assessment of cardiac adipose tissue and its role in cardiovascular and metabolic health. My research integrates artificial intelligence, medical imaging, and biomedical engineering to develop automated and reproducible tools for clinical decision support. By combining deep learning with quantitative imaging, I aim to reduce observer variability while improving the efficiency, accuracy, and scalability of cardiac risk assessment.
Thesis Title: AI-Based Automated Quantification of Epicardial and Pericardial Adipose Tissue
This research focuses on the development of an automated framework for the segmentation and quantification of Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) and Pericardial Adipose Tissue (PAT) using dual-modality cardiac imaging, including both Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). These adipose tissue depots are increasingly recognized as important imaging biomarkers associated with cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, systemic inflammation, and adverse cardiac outcomes. Accurate measurement of EAT and PAT provides valuable insights into cardiometabolic risk stratification and disease progression.
Traditional manual and semi-automated quantification methods are time-consuming, operator-dependent, and prone to variability. To address these limitations, this project leverages deep learning–based segmentation models and advanced image processing techniques to enable fully automated, fast, and reproducible tissue quantification across imaging modalities. The workflow includes image preprocessing, cardiac region localization, automated tissue segmentation, and volumetric and density-based analysis. For CT imaging, quantification incorporates Hounsfield Unit–based tissue characterization, while MRI-based analysis enables radiation-free assessment and improved soft-tissue contrast for broader clinical applicability.
By supporting both CT and MRI data, the proposed dual-modality framework enhances clinical flexibility and expands accessibility across diverse imaging environments. Beyond automation, this work explores the relationship between cardiac adipose tissue distribution and cardiometabolic risk, contributing to the growing field of AI-assisted cardiovascular imaging and precision medicine.
This research is being carried out in collaboration with AIG Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the co-supervision of Dr. Bhairavi Reddy, supporting the translation of AI-based imaging tools into real-world clinical workflows.
