About Dr Raham

Dr Raham
Karimaghaei

MBBS · BSc (Hons) · FRCR

Dr Raham Karimaghaei’s work connects diagnosis, image-guided surgery and the decisions that shape a patient’s care.

He brings the perspective of a practising consultant to healthcare technology: an understanding of the clinical problem, the people involved and what needs to happen next.

That perspective comes from a career across emergency medicine, diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology—and from working with teams exploring how AI can become part of clinical practice.

Interventional radiology

Image-guided surgery for vascular and non-vascular conditions, with clinical interests including arterial and venous intervention, embolisation and biliary procedures.

AI Lead

As an AI Lead working within the imaging network, he supports the clinical evaluation and introduction of AI into imaging services. His work includes procurement, testing and validation, with attention to governance, clinical workflows and the patient pathway.

AI in clinical practice

New technology needs
a clear place in care

His interest in AI is rooted in the same questions he faces in clinical practice: what problem needs solving, what information is reliable and what should happen next?

As an AI Lead and clinical advisor, he contributes to procurement, testing and validation, with attention to clinical evidence, expert oversight and the practical demands of implementation. He helps teams consider how a product can support a clinical pathway and how its value should be assessed.
