About

A clinical radiologist working where imaging, AI and education meet.

Dr. Praveen Shastry is a Consultant Radiologist whose work sits at the intersection of diagnostic imaging, clinical AI and medical education. At 5C Network, he contributes clinical leadership to AI-enabled imaging workflows, product development and quality systems.

His clinical and research interests span musculoskeletal radiology, neuroimaging, and the translation of deep-learning models into routine reporting workflows — from chest radiograph triage to whole-body MRI screening.

Alongside published research and CRC Press / Taylor & Francis book chapters, he writes long-form educational essays on AI, radiology and healthcare innovation.
