Bio
Dr. Sheth is a board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologist with Stanford Health Care Radiology. He is also an assistant professor in the Department of Radiology, Division of Body MRI at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Sheth is clinically trained in general and nuclear radiology. He has subspecialty expertise in body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MRI-guided procedures such as biopsies and ablation (a minimally invasive procedure that destroys abnormal tissue). His other clinical interests include rectal cancer MRIs, pelvic floor MRIs, and positron emission tomography (PET) MRI applications for diagnosing and treating pelvic tumors. He uses advanced tools that help patients get timely, accurate answers and appropriate treatment.
Dr. Sheth has a diverse background in developing and translating MRI technologies. During his graduate research, he developed an MRI-based method to measure pH in breast tumor models. In residency, he investigated how the ultrashort echo time MRI technique in the brain can evaluate myelin (a protective sheath found around nerve fibers) in patients with cystic fibrosis. Other research interests include developing MRI-guided focal (localized) therapies that can personalize treatment and reduce morbidity risks.
Dr. Sheth is involved in multiple research projects funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He has shared his research at regional, national, and international meetings, where he has won awards and moderated case panels.
Dr. Sheth has published his work in national peer-reviewed journals and served as a peer reviewer for the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Molecular Imaging and Biology, and NMR in Biomedicine. His paper for IEEE Transactions on Medical Robotics and Bionics won best paper of the year in 2021.
Dr. Sheth is a member of multiple societies, including the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, the Radiological Society of North America, the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, and the Society for Advanced Body Imaging. He is also a member of the California Medical Association, the Pelvic Floor Disorders Consortium with the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, and the Society of Abdominal Radiology, where he is part of the Pelvic Floor Disease Focus Panel.
