About

Dr. Sadhna Verma is a leading authority in prostate cancer imaging and interventional radiology, whose work has fundamentally reshaped how clinicians detect and diagnose this disease. Her research centers on the evolution of imaging-guided prostate biopsy, bridging the gap between conventional transrectal ultrasound (US) and advanced magnetic resonance (MR) techniques. In her landmark 2012 paper, "Imaging-guided Prostate Biopsy: Conventional and Emerging Techniques," which has garnered 99 citations, Dr. Verma critically analyzed the limitations of standard US-guided biopsy—namely the operator's inability to directly visualize and target suspicious lesions. She systematically outlined emerging MR-guided and MR-US fusion approaches that dramatically improve diagnostic accuracy, reducing the detection of clinically insignificant cancers while increasing the yield of aggressive tumors. This work has been instrumental in moving the field toward targeted, rather than random, sampling. Dr. Verma's contributions have directly influenced clinical guidelines and practice patterns worldwide, making her a pivotal figure in the transition to precision prostate cancer diagnosis. Her scholarship continues to guide radiologists and urologists in adopting these life-saving technologies.
