About

Nada Abdulaziz is pioneering the translation of advanced imaging technologies into clinical rheumatology. Her research focuses on the development of automated, volumetric imaging systems that combine emerging photoacoustic imaging with conventional Doppler ultrasound for the detection and assessment of inflammatory arthritis. Her major contributions include the creation of a fully automatic 3D imaging platform, built in collaboration with GE HealthCare and integrated with a robotic arm, designed as a point-of-care device for rheumatology clinics. This system enables longitudinal, quantitative assessment of synovial inflammation in human finger joints, aiming to improve early diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Her most cited work, "Longitudinal volumetric assessment of inflammatory arthritis via photoacoustic imaging and Doppler ultrasound imaging" (2023), has garnered 15 citations, reflecting growing interest in this interdisciplinary approach. By merging novel optical-acoustic contrast with standard clinical ultrasound, Abdulaziz is addressing a critical need for more sensitive, objective tools in arthritis management. Her work represents a significant step toward making photoacoustic imaging a practical, bedside tool for rheumatologists.
