Dr. Gali Shapira
Speaker Bio
I am a pediatric diagnostic and interventional radiologist at CHEO, Ottawa, Canada. After completing medical school and radiology residency training in Haifa, Israel, I pursued fellowship training in Pediatric Radiology at the University of Ottawa, followed by a fellowship in Pediatric Interventional Radiology at SickKids in Toronto.
My clinical practice spans both diagnostic imaging and image-guided interventions, with particular interests in musculoskeletal imaging and vascular anomalies. I work closely with multidisciplinary teams across a range of pediatric subspecialties, including orthopedic surgery, gastroenterology, oncology, and the vascular anomalies program, helping guide diagnosis and treatment through imaging and minimally invasive procedures.
Education is an important part of my practice. I enjoy teaching medical students, residents, fellows, and technologists through practical, case-based learning focused on everyday clinical challenges. I am also involved in quality improvement and clinical innovation initiatives aimed at enhancing patient care and improving procedural experiences for children and their families.
My academic interests include pediatric musculoskeletal imaging, vascular anomalies, and advances in pediatric interventional radiology. More recently, I have explored the application of virtual reality to reduce anxiety and improve patient comfort during image-guided procedures.
