Dr. Sridhar’s interests include imaging of pediatric and adult congenital heart disease and specifically, imaging of complex congenital heart disease including single ventricle physiology and neonates with congenital heart disease. He focuses on applying concepts from cardiovascular physiology, medical imaging physics, fluid dynamics, and scanning logistics to achieve improved image quality and reduced radiation dose.
Dr. Sridhar has a passion for radiology education and is involved in the education of fellows, residents, and medical students at UCSF. He has served several teaching roles throughout his career including peer tutor during medical school, resident educator during residency, and clinical instructor during fellowship. He was recognized with the Resident Educator Award multiple times during residency and was selected as a Semifinalist for the 2023 Aunt Minnie “Most Effective Radiology Educator” Award.
Dr. Sridhar’s research interests include examining the role of medical imaging in congenital heart disease, cardiothoracic CT quality improvement, and radiology education. He received the RSNA Resident Research Award in 2021 and has served as a consulting editor for American Journal of Radiology (AJR).
Dr. Sridhar serves on national committees including the Society of Thoracic Radiology Electronic Media Committee, North American Society of Cardiovascular Imaging Education Committee, and serves as a regular contributor to the Society of Thoracic Radiology Webinar and Duke-Mallinckrodt-UCSF Cardiothoracic Imaging Lecture Series.
