Sehar Khan, Lead PET CT Technologist, Mount Sinai Morningside
Sehar Khan, Lead PET CT Technologist at Mount Sinai Morningside, was recognized by a colleague, Maria Riasat, MD, a fellow in Cardiology, for embodying skilled, agile, and compassionate care for her patient. Sehar administers advanced imaging for the detection of heart disease—cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT).
“Sehar demonstrated exceptional dedication and compassion by coming in on her day off, a Saturday, to assist a patient in need,” Maria explains. “She went above and beyond to accommodate a patient who urgently required cardiovascular care. This patient, unable to undergo testing on a Friday due to fasting restrictions, had to travel on Sunday. Without Sehar’s selfless act, crucial information about the patient’s health condition would have been delayed, potentially impacting the quality and timeliness of their care. Her commitment to patient well-being and her willingness to sacrifice her own time embody the spirit of excellence.”
Carlos Rodriguez, Director of Radiology, Mount Sinai Morningside, echoes this praise. “Sehar is a dedicated PET CT technologist who has been instrumental in the launching and establishing of our Cardiac PET CT Program at Mount Sinai Morningside. The exceptional commitment to both her work and her patients shines through in everything she does. Sehar’s expertise and proactive approach have streamlined our operations, ensuring high-quality cardiac imaging services for the system. She consistently goes above and beyond, providing compassionate care and precise imaging, making her an invaluable asset to our team and a trusted advocate for our patients’ well-being.”
Sehar’s philosophy about patient care is one of human care. She stated simply: “Every one’s God-given human dignity must be respected, regardless of his or her faith, race, ethnic origin, gender, or social status.”
