Dr. Azar's research integrates clinical abdominal radiology with critical socio-educational studies. Her work spans pancreatic and splenic pseudocysts, Spigelian hernias, prostate calculi, and gallbladder pathology, while simultaneously addressing systemic issues like diversity in radiology residencies and #MeToo movement impacts on workplace culture. This dual focus bridges diagnostic precision with institutional reform.

Publication trends reveal two distinct streams: clinically detailed case reports advancing abdominal imaging diagnostics, and evidence-based studies analyzing barriers to inclusion for women and underrepresented minorities in radiology training programs. Her collaborative work with residency program directors highlights practical strategies for workforce diversification.
