Dr. Khushica Purbhoo

Khushica Purbhoo is a nuclear medicine specialist and academic researcher whose work centers on diagnostic imaging, hybrid modalities, and their application in oncology and complex endocrine disorders. Her scholarship reflects a strong clinical orientation, integrating functional and anatomical imaging to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient management across diverse clinical scenarios.

Her publications highlight expertise in PET/CT, SPECT/CT, myocardial perfusion imaging, and ventilation–perfusion scintigraphy, with particular attention to image quality optimization, tracer selection, and interpretation pitfalls. She has contributed meaningful insights into pediatric nuclear medicine, pulmonary thromboembolism assessment, and strategies to reduce imaging artifacts and misinterpretation.

In addition to imaging methodology, her case-based reports on rare endocrine and neuroendocrine conditions demonstrate interdisciplinary collaboration and clinical depth. Through both prospective studies and illustrative case analyses, Purbhoo’s work advances safe, cost-conscious, and diagnostically robust nuclear medicine practice.
