I was majoring in engineering during my undergraduate education. During that time, I worked on image-processing projects. That was my first introduction to radiology. While collaborating with some doctors on those projects, I realized there needed to be more connection between people who practice medicine and those who create medical devices. I intended to bridge that gap as much as one person could. That is where my interest in radiology originated. I thought that of all the fields in medicine, it’s the one that relies heavily on technology and advancement. During medical school, I was in a unique small group of people that wanted to do radiology from the beginning. So many of my peers and colleagues didn’t even know what radiology was when they entered medical school. I eventually chose to pursue interventional radiology as my specialty because the beauty of IR is that you get to do life-saving procedures. Many areas of radiology are heavily diagnostic and have no interaction with patients. However, IR is integral to many treatment teams for cancer or non-cancer-related diseases. My philosophy of care is simple: to treat the patients as if they are your loved ones.
