About

Dr. Sanjay Thulkar is a leading radiologist whose work bridges cutting-edge technology with critical clinical needs, particularly in interventional and diagnostic imaging. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted ultrasound, PET/CT-guided interventions, and advanced tissue sampling techniques. Dr. Thulkar’s most notable contribution is his pioneering work on robotic ultrasound systems, detailed in his highly cited 2022 feasibility study (11 citations), which addresses the urgent need for remote, safe imaging during the COVID-19 pandemic. This innovation not only reduces cross-infection risks for healthcare workers but also expands ultrasound access to underserved or isolated populations. Additionally, his 2020 study on PET/CT-guided tissue sampling (2 citations) offers a solution to the common problem of false-negative results in conventional CT-guided biopsies, particularly in lesions with necrotic cores or reactive fibrosis. By integrating metabolic imaging with procedural guidance, Dr. Thulkar has enhanced diagnostic accuracy in challenging cases. His work demonstrates a commitment to improving patient outcomes through technological innovation, making him a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive, image-guided procedures.
