Fahad Alghamdi

I am a dedicated researcher and lecturer specialising in medical imaging. My academic and professional journey has equipped me with expertise in radiological sciences, healthcare education, and musculoskeletal and vascular imaging research.

I began my career as a lecturer at Qassim University, where I have been actively involved in teaching ultrasound techniques, training students on imaging applications, and maintaining clinical practice through patient scanning. To further enhance my expertise, I pursued a Master’s degree in Radiological and Imaging Sciences (Invasive Cardiovascular Technology) at Thomas Jefferson University in the United States.

Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Medical Imaging at the University of Exeter (since 2021), where my research investigates the impact of Long COVID-related inflammatory processes on bone, joints, and musculoskeletal microvascular haemodynamics. This research utilises various diagnostic modalities, including DXA, ultrasound, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and blood biomarkers, to assess long-term musculoskeletal health implications. 

Beyond research, my academic interests include healthcare management and leadership, particularly in communication challenges within healthcare organisations. Through my experience in both academia and clinical practice, I am committed to advancing medical imaging education, improving patient care, and contributing to innovative research in musculoskeletal and vascular imaging.
