Dr. Kaliannan's research focuses on advanced imaging techniques, particularly in the areas of traumatic brain injury and abdominal radiology. Her work extensively utilizes MR spectroscopic imaging to investigate metabolic changes following brain trauma, while also contributing to the understanding of renal tumors and unusual abdominal pathologies. Her research bridges clinical radiology with advanced imaging technology to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.

Her publication record demonstrates a strong focus on neuroimaging applications, particularly in traumatic brain injury assessment, with multiple studies examining metabolic alterations using MR spectroscopy. She has also made contributions to the understanding of renal tumors and rare abdominal imaging findings that can mimic more common pathologies.

Dr. Kaliannan maintains an active clinical practice at Yale Medicine, where she applies her imaging expertise to patient care across multiple clinical settings.
