He has practiced as a radiologist since 2014 and as an interventional radiologist since 2017, after training at Medical College, Kolkata. An advocate of minimally invasive treatment, he treats conditions through a small puncture in the skin rather than a surgical cut, usually as a day-care procedure. His work focuses on the circulation of the legs — blocked arteries, non-healing wounds, varicose veins and leg swelling, particularly in diabetic and elderly patients — and on non surgical treatment of enlarged prostate, uterine fibroids and thyroid nodules. Treatment decisions are made together with the patient's treating physician or surgeon. He is a life member of the Indian Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, has published peer-reviewed work in interventional radiology (ORCID iD: 0000-0002-4286-8292), and teaches and mentors trainees in diagnostic and interventional radiology Expertise: Leg circulation – peripheral arterial disease, chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins and the diabetic foot. Enlarged prostate – prostate artery embolisation, as a day-care procedure. Uterine fibroids – uterine fibroid embolisation, preserving the uterus. Thyroid nodules – microwave ablation and thyroid artery embolisation, without a surgical scar.
