Dr. Neha Choudhary

Dr. Dr. Neha Choudhary is one of the few female Interventional Neuroradiologists in India, trained at the prestigious Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh. She did her MBBS from Grant Medical College, Mumbai, and her MD Radiodiagnosis from Gauhati Medical College, Guwahati. Dr. Choudhary completed DM in Neuroimaging and Interventional Neuroradiology from PGIMER, Chandigarh, one of the top institutions in India. During her DM course, she developed a passion for neuro interventions, mainly mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke, management of intracranial aneurysms, cerebral AVMs, pial and dural AVFs, spinal interventions, and the like. Apart from neuro interventions, she is also trained in various vascular and non-vascular body interventions. She is also an expert in neuroimaging, with a particular interest in advanced MR imaging techniques like fMRI, DTI, etc. Before joining Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, she was an Assistant professor at All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS), Jodhpur. She has authored more than 12 publications in national and international journals. She did extensive research on “Vessel wall imaging in CNS infections” during her tenure at PGIMER, Chandigarh, and published three original articles in the “Neuroradiology” journal.
