About

Dr. Sahar Shahbazi is a leading figure in interventional radiology, whose work has significantly advanced the precision of image-guided procedures. Her primary research focuses on the development and application of novel imaging techniques for minimally invasive interventions, particularly within the renal and hepatic systems. Her seminal 2012 paper, "Image-guided techniques in renal and hepatic interventions," which has garnered 30 citations, established a critical framework for integrating high-quality 3D and 4D visualization into surgical planning and execution. This work demonstrated how leveraging preoperative imaging can dramatically improve the accuracy of needle placements and catheter guidance, reducing patient risk and enhancing outcomes. Dr. Shahbazi’s contributions are foundational to the modern practice of interventional oncology and nephrology, bridging the gap between raw imaging data and actionable, real-time procedural guidance. By championing the use of advanced computing power in the operating room, she has helped transform complex, high-risk surgeries into safer, more predictable procedures, making her a vital innovator in the field of image-guided therapy.
