Sandra Abi Fadel

Sandra Abi Fadel, MD serves as an Assistant Professor of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at Yale School of Medicine and acts as Associate Program Director of the Neuroradiology fellowship at Yale New Haven Hospital. Her clinical work focuses on advanced neuroimaging techniques for diagnosing conditions affecting the brain, spine, spinal cord, neck structures, and salivary glands using multiple modalities including X-ray, CT, and MRI.

Dr. Abi Fadel's research interests center on neuroradiology with specific focus areas in brain imaging, central nervous system disorders, head and neck imaging, and neurological diagnostics. She particularly emphasizes correlating patients' neurological symptoms with specific anatomic regions in the brain and abnormalities on brain imaging. Her work demonstrates how advanced imaging techniques can significantly impact the timely and effective management of neurological conditions.

Her recent publications reveal a strong trend toward integrating advanced imaging techniques with genetic analysis and addressing representation issues in neurointerventional fields. Her work spans from clinical imaging applications to molecular-level analysis of brain tumors, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to neurological diagnosis and treatment.
