Adina F. Achiriloaie

Dr. Adina F. Achiriloaie is an Associate Professor and Head of the Neuroradiology Division at the Loma Linda University School of Medicine, with over 13 years of academic leadership in diagnostic imaging. Her clinical and research expertise spans multiple neuroimaging domains, particularly focusing on pediatric and degenerative neurological conditions.

• Associate Professor of Radiology (2005–present)
• Head, Neuroradiology Division (2005–present)

Research Interests

Dr. Achiriloaie's research explores neuroimaging applications in developmental disorders (focal cortical dysplasia, persistent hypoglossal artery), neurodegenerative disease monitoring (mild cognitive impairment, hepatic encephalopathy), and inflammatory/neoplastic conditions (neurosarcoidosis, Pregnancy-associated meningioma). Her work emphasizes MRI pattern analysis and radiological-pathological correlation across clinical scenarios.

Scientific Contributions

She has published 8 peer-reviewed works since 2011, including:

• 2024: Rasmussen's encephalitis MRI patterns in pediatrics
• 2021: Cortical dysplasia longitudinal imaging
• 2019: Vascular anomaly case in neonates
• 2018: Dual neuroimmunology/infection studies

Clinical-Translational Impact

Her case reports bridge radiology with neurology (epilepsy), obstetrics (hormonal meningioma), and pediatrics (viral encephalopathy). Collaborative projects with neuropathologists and neurologists demonstrate her commitment to interdisciplinary clinical investigation.
