About

Turki Alfuhaid is a radiologist and researcher whose work centers on the diagnostic precision of advanced imaging in urologic surgery. His primary research areas include computed tomography angiography (CTA) and its role in renal and ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) management. Alfuhaid’s most notable contribution is his 2008 study, “Computed tomography angiogram: Accuracy in renal surgery,” which systematically evaluated CTA’s sensitivity and specificity in detecting renal vascular anatomy and crossing vessels causing UPJO. This work provided critical evidence for using CTA as a reliable, non-invasive tool in preoperative planning, helping surgeons avoid vascular injury and improve outcomes in renal and UPJO surgeries. Although his citation count is modest—with his key paper garnering 3 citations—his research has informed clinical algorithms for decision-making in urologic radiology. Alfuhaid’s findings underscore the importance of imaging accuracy in reducing surgical complications, making his work a foundational reference for radiologists and urologists seeking to optimize preoperative assessment. His dedication to bridging radiology and surgery continues to influence best practices in renal imaging.
