About Dr. Kaur
Dr. Harmeet Kaur is a Clinical Professor at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. She began her medical career in 1984 at Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi, India and subsequently began her radiology career in 1999 after completing her residency, clinical, internship and fellowship in abdominal imaging. Her greatest passion is collaborative clinical care, where she seeks to use her skills in image interpretation to improve patient outcome. Her interest is in the imaging of primary and recurrent rectal cancer. Her ongoing research is multi-parametric imaging in rectal cancer, where she refined the imaging protocols and is currently working on imaging analysis and generating radionomic data. She is also involved in a protocol assessing the value of supraparamagnetic iron oxide in nodal involvement. She has lectured extensively on the subject of rectal cancer and also had a number of award-winning exhibits at the RSNA.
