Fourat Ridouani, MD
We post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

Get to Know Me
I am a radiologist who specializes in interventional oncology, a minimally invasive approach of diagnosing and treating cancer. For most people, this option is less risky with shorter recovery times compared to traditional surgery.
As an interventional radiologist, I perform a broad range of procedures such as treating tumors, performing organ biopises, or placing stents by inserting small instruments and thin tubes (catheters) into the body via an artery or a vein. I use images from fluoroscopy (an x-ray that allows us to see internal organs in motion), ultrasounds, CT scans, MRI and PET/CT, to help guide these interventions. The richness of the different interventions and their impact, as well as all the possibilities of development in this field, are the key drivers that made me choose this specialty.
I believe that reducing the risks of complications from surgeries is a critical part of our role as interventional radiologists, and my goal is to ensure that every patient is provided with patient-centered care. By understanding patients’ individual needs, their backgrounds, and their concerns, I help provide guidance, with full transparency on expectations to help put my patients at ease. I work with a team of medical, surgical, and radiation oncology experts to ensure that every intervention is delivered with first-class care, allowing for the fastest recovery.
My clinical research has been focused on finding solutions to improve image guidance for the procedures we perform, as well as helping to develop new tools and software to be more precise and efficient. I also work on new ablation modalities for tumor destruction, such as laser ablation for thyroid cancer.
I'm an interventional (IN-ter-VEN-shun-al) radiologist. This is a doctor with special training in using image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat disease.

Disclosures
Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.
MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
