Prof. Dr. Shahin Zandieh is a medical imaging and diagnostic radiology specialist whose research spans musculoskeletal biomechanics, cardiovascular imaging, oncologic radiology, and advanced radiomics. With 49 publications, over 550 citations, and an h-index of 12, his scientific work reflects a strong interdisciplinary approach to clinical diagnosis, disease characterization, and imaging-guided evaluation of structural abnormalities. His contributions extend across orthopedic, cardiovascular, endocrine, and oncological systems through innovative use of MRI, CT, X-ray, and radiomic feature extraction.A notable component of Prof. Dr. Zandieh’s research focuses on orthopedic imaging and biomechanical assessment, including comparative studies such as the analysis of proximal chevron osteotomy versus Lapidus arthrodesis in managing hallux valgus deformities. His work provides clinically meaningful insights for surgeons, improving treatment selection, operative planning, and postoperative evaluation.In the field of cardiovascular imaging, he has explored rare cardiac pathologies such as “toothpaste tumor” manifestations of the mitral valve, enhancing the diagnostic awareness of uncommon presentations through multimodal radiologic evaluation. His studies also extend to endocrine-related morphologic changes, such as MRI-based radiomics used to detect cardiac variations influenced by autoimmune thyroid disorders—paving the way for AI-assisted diagnostic tools.Prof. Dr. Zandieh has also contributed to oncologic radiology, documenting rare metastatic patterns including giant ovarian metastasis from breast cancer. These case-based investigations broaden clinician understanding of atypical disease progression.Collectively, his research strengthens clinical imaging practice by integrating radiomics, rare-case documentation, biomechanics, and cross-system diagnostic strategies—advancing precision diagnosis, personalized treatment planning, and the broader field of radiological science.
