Aspro. Nasreen Mahomed

Nasreen Mahomed is a South African academic radiologist whose work centres on paediatric radiology, infectious diseases imaging, and radiation safety. Her scholarship reflects a strong commitment to improving diagnostic accuracy and patient care in resource-constrained settings, with particular attention to tuberculosis, paediatric lung infections, and HIV-associated conditions. She is widely recognised for integrating clinical insight with imaging expertise to address pressing public health challenges.

Her publications highlight key focus areas including advanced imaging of childhood tuberculosis across organ systems, unusual paediatric lung infections, and breast tuberculosis. In addition, her research on bone age assessment compares manual and artificial intelligence–driven methods, demonstrating engagement with emerging technologies and their ethical implications in paediatric radiology. This blend of classical radiological knowledge and AI evaluation underscores her leadership in responsible innovation.

Mahomed has also contributed significantly to radiation dose optimisation in both paediatric computed tomography and interventional radiology, supporting the development of local diagnostic reference levels in South Africa. Her work on imaging follow-up in urological conditions and on risk stratification in childhood pneumonia further reflects a multidisciplinary approach, strengthening evidence-based imaging practice and advancing child health outcomes.
