Najlaa Khalfan Al Mazrouei

Senior Medical Physicist, Diagnostic Imaging Department - Dubai Health Authority

Ph.D. degree form Nottingham Trent University – UK (2021), MSc. degree (2015) and BSc. (2004) from the UAEU. In addition, certified from Strathclyde University for the course of study in Association of University Radiation Protection Officers (certificate of professional development in Radiation protection in 2006).

I am a motivated and progress-focused Senior Medical Physicist working at Dubai Health Authority with a long-standing background in Radiation Protection. With a track record of initiative and dependability, as a lecturer of the DHA radiation protection program, a decided member of the DHA radiation protection committee, the former president of the medical physics society, and recently a member of the medical physics faculty team for the radiology residency program. My BSc. degree was in medical physics and the MSc. was in physics with a dissertation project on controlling radiation exposure to pediatric patients in Dubai hospital, that contributed to establishing the national diagnostic reference level for pediatrics in the UAE, where I was the first graduated student from the MSc physics program at the UAEU. I have recently completed my Ph.D. degree in NMR physics from the UK with a project titled Creation of a low-cost magnetic resonance system for the early detection of preeclampsia. Currently working on developing the MRI and mammography quality control program according to the American College of Radiology (ACR) requirements. Publish papers in the field of diagnostic radiology. I always believe that nothing is impossible, put your target and try your best to achieve it, and if you couldn’t, still you have the experience to guide others to the correct path. Don’t give up before you put in all of your efforts.
