Dr. Tahnai Khdair is a Pediatric Radiologist with a dual academic appointment at the University of Jordan and Dalhousie University in Canada. Her clinical expertise and academic interests include pediatric hepatobiliary imaging and liver transplantation, with a focus on integrating advanced imaging modalities into transplant evaluation and long-term graft surveillance.
Dr. Khdair is the lead author of the study titled “Doppler Parameters of the Hepatic Artery as Predictors of Graft Status in Pediatric Liver Transplantation," which explores the prognostic value of hepatic artery Doppler indices in assessing graft viability and vascular complications after pediatric liver transplantation. She is also a co-author of the publication “Transplant Without Borders: Clinical Outcomes and Challenges in Transborder Living Donor Pediatric Liver Transplantation in Jordan," which addresses regional collaboration and outcomes in cross-border pediatric liver transplant programs.
Through her academic and clinical work, Dr. Khdair continues to contribute to advancing research, innovation, and multidisciplinary collaboration in pediatric liver transplantation, aiming to enhance diagnostic precision and patient outcomes in this specialized field.
Dr. Tahani Khdair is a graduate of the University of Jordan and completed fellowship training in Pediatric Radiology and Pediatric Neuroradiology at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada (2010–2014).
Since 2015, Dr. Tahani has served as a consultant staff radiologist and Research Director at IWK Health in Canada and held a faculty appointment as Professor of Radiology at Dalhousie University. She also represented Atlantic Canada as a voting member on the Pediatric Radiology Subspecialty Committee of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and chaired the Research and Innovation Subcommittee of the Canadian Society of Pediatric Radiology (CanSPR).
Dr. Tahani is an active researcher and grant recipient, serving as both Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator on several clinical and imaging research projects. Her work has included establishing normative values for hepatic artery velocity in children following liver transplantation, a project that contributes to improving post-transplant imaging assessment and pediatric patient care.
She is certified by the American Board of Radiology in Diagnostic and Pediatric Radiology and also holds Canadian Board Certification in Pediatric Radiology and Jordanian Board Certification in Diagnostic Radiology.
