Dr Syed Junaid

About

Dr Syed Junaid is a consultant radiologist in Cardiff, specialising in musculoskeletal radiology and with special interest in AI. His focuses are musculoskeletal, testicular, and abdominal ultrasound, cortisone injection, and private scans. 

He completed his medical training with double distinction from Imperial College London. Dr Junaid shortly after became a fellow with Royal College of  Radiologists while posting as a registrar at South Wales NHS Training Programme. His training in his speciality continued until 2019, when he immediately also became a musculoskeletal radiology fellow, training at the UK’s largest tertiary orthopaedic hospital, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. 

Most notably, Dr Junaid has founded both the Acorn Ultrasound Clinic with his two partners and Radiology Seminars, which has become the UK’s leader for online radiology courses. Acorn Ultrasound clinic is the first of its kind in Wales as the clinic has high-technology machines, allowing them to provide the same level of care as a hospital but directly on the high street for patients. This is valuable during a time where the world is battling a pandemic. Dr Turner and his team have the ability to see otherwise backlogged patients and assess their needs.

Dr Junaid has taken AI interest to new levels in radiology, especially in Wales. His extensive research has been partially funded by an awarded bid from the Welsh government and he set up what has become the first AI in radiology research group in Wales; he has continued to remain involved in the leadership and management. Dr Junaid’s efforts have been awarded internationally. He is an invited speaker around the globe, and he remains a trailblazer in integrating AI in radiology.
