I am a consultant musculoskeletal radiologist at Cambridge University Hospital, UK. Within the subspeciality I have particular interests in sports imaging and imaging arthritis.

I supervise anatomy at Peterhouse and I teach radiology at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

I am involved in imaging amateur and professional athletes from a wide variety of sports and I was on the organising committee to provide imaging for the London 2012 Olympics. I have also provided imaging for other major sporting events.

My research is clinically based and is particularly focused on imaging biomarkers for arthritis. I have over 150 peer reviewed publications and invited reviews and have contributed 25 book chapters. I am co-editor of 7 books and a musculoskeletal sub-editor for the 7th edition of Grainger & Allison’s Diagnostic Radiology.

I will become president of the British Society of Skeletal Radiology in November 2022
