Dr. Lida Jafari is an American Board-certified Consultant in Nuclear Medicine with over seven years of experience in high-volume hospitals. She completed her training at UCLA, one of the world's leading institutions in nuclear medicine, and has practiced extensively in Southern California before joining the UAE healthcare system. She is an active member of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) and has presented at major international conferences.

Dr. Jafari specializes in advanced diagnostic imaging and therapeutic nuclear procedures across oncology, cardiology, neurology, and endocrine conditions. She performs a full range of nuclear scans including bone scans, heart perfusion imaging, thyroid scans, and specialized PET-CT scans for cancer detection and staging. She is also skilled in radionuclide therapies — radioactive treatments delivered directly to cancer cells — for thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, and liver cancer, as well as pain relief treatments for bone metastases.

Dr. Jafari brings particular expertise in brain imaging to diagnose neurodegenerative diseases like dementia and Parkinson's disease, and in detecting tumor recurrence after radiation. Her approach combines precision diagnostics with targeted therapeutic interventions to optimize patient outcomes in complex cancer and neurological cases.
