Research

Shroff’s research is focused on paediatric neuroimaging and, as the Director of the Ontasian Imaging Lab (OIL), he has made a sustained effort to innovate and advance paediatric radiology research in collaboration with various multidisciplinary professional teams at national and international levels. As deep learning has gained ground in radiology, the OIL in collaboration with paediatric radiologists, AI scientists and medical physicists has supported several AI initiatives to tackle different problems in the paediatric population.
