Sosamma Methratta, MD serves as Professor in both the Department of Radiology and Department of Pediatrics. Her research spans pediatric imaging, radiologist well-being, and clinical outcomes assessment. With an h-index of 10 and 452 citations, she maintains active scholarly output across medical education and diagnostic imaging domains.

Her research fingerprint reveals dominant expertise in Pediatric Radiology (97%), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (100%), and Appendicitis Diagnosis (85%). Recent work focuses on clinician burnout mitigation through cognitive behavioral techniques and optimizing radiologist transitions during career lifecycle phases. The fingerprint analysis shows strong concentration in clinical outcomes (28%) and radiologist-specific challenges (35%).

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2023-2025) reveals two distinct research trajectories: (1) Pediatric imaging applications including postmortem MRI standardization and appendicitis protocols, and (2) Mental health interventions targeting radiologist burnout through cognitive reframing and workplace joy restoration. The latter cluster demonstrates increasing scholarly attention to occupational well-being since 2023.
