Overview
Bharti Khurana, MD is the founding director of the Trauma Imaging Research and Innovation Center (TIRIC) and an emergency radiologist at the Brigham and Women's Hospital. Her clinical and research efforts involve accurate and meaningful imaging interpretation with rapid application of clinical knowledge for patients in the emergency department with a focus on orthopedic and spine trauma, intimate partner violence, geriatric trauma, frailty, whole-body CT for trauma, MRI optimization, machine learning tools, education, and career-building in emergency radiology. She is widely respected as a beloved mentor and has been the three-time recipient of the Distinguished Honored Educator Award by the Radiological Society of North America. As a former emergency radiology fellowship program director, Dr. Khurana has trained many residents and fellows who are now leaders in radiology. Dr. Khurana graduated from Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, India, and did her residency and fellowship in musculoskeletal radiology at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She is an associate professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School and holds a research faculty appointment in the Department of Medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She is also the director of the Intensive Review of Emergency Radiology CME course at Harvard Medical School.

Mentoring
Available: 06/01/22, Expires: 03/01/26

At the Trauma Imaging Research and Innovation Center (TIRIC), we build solutions for (1) automated injury detection from medical images, (2) clinical decision support to detect Intimate Partner Violence, (3) geriatric frailty detection from medical images, (4) automated processing of medical content on social media, and (5) evidence-based clinical guidelines for appropriate use of imaging in the Emergency Department.

Available: 03/25/24, Expires: 03/31/27

At the Trauma Imaging Research and Innovation Center (TIRIC), we are dedicated to enhancing patient outcomes by leveraging advanced data analytics to revolutionize early diagnosis and intervention strategies. Our multifaceted approach encompasses automated injury detection on radiological studies, clinical decision support systems for identifying interpersonal violence, and pioneering image-based biological age prediction methods. Through these endeavors, we aim not only to save lives but also to proactively prevent injuries. We offer compelling opportunities for students to actively engage with our projects, whether as co-authors contributing to our groundbreaking research or as first authors leading initiatives. Over the past five years, several students from the Harvard Medical School (HMS) have utilized their involvement with TIRIC for their honors theses and spearhead projects as first authors.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
