## About

After serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Amazon jungles of Ecuador, Dr. Raj Ayyagari graduated from Yale School of Medicine in 2004. He began training in Urology at the University of Washington, and then chose to pursue a career in image-guided minimally invasive procedural therapy, completing a residency in Diagnostic Radiology and fellowship in Interventional Radiology at Brigham ...  and Women’s Hospital in 2011. The mainstay of Dr. Ayyagari’s contributions over the past decade have been in prostatic artery embolization (PAE). He developed one of the first and largest PAE practices in the country, and has reported his expansive data in top IR and Urology meetings and journals. In recent years, Dr. Ayyagari has pioneered minimally invasive treatments for prostate cancer. He implemented one of the few in-bore MRI-guided prostate biopsy programs in the country, then built one of the few centers in the country to offer a new MRI-guided prostate cancer ablation treatment procedure.
