Theophilus Adu-Bredu

I completed a BSc in Sonography at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana, in 2016. In 2020, I earned an MSc in Medical Ultrasound with Distinction from the University of Derby.

I worked within the Obstetrics and Gynecology Directorate at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), the second-largest tertiary hospital in Ghana. I was a core member of the newly established Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) Unit, where I provided advanced fetal ultrasound services for high-risk pregnancies and contributed to training for the MFM fellowship program. I was also actively involved in obstetric ultrasound training for undergraduate medical imaging students and radiology residents.

While based in Oxford, I continue to support fetal ultrasound case discussions and contribute to multidisciplinary fetal medicine meetings in Ghana's two largest tertiary hospitals (KATH and Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital) through telemedicine.

My research interests lie in advanced obstetric imaging, particularly placental assessment, fetal growth, and congenital abnormalities. I have contributed to multiple research projects in these areas and have published in leading journals in the field.

In 2023, I joined the OxPLUS project led by Professor Sally Collins, focusing on a novel technology that assesses the risk of fetal growth restriction and preeclampsia in the first trimester using 3D placental volume and Doppler. I am currently working within the team of Professor Aris Papageorghiou on a project developing AI tools for the detection of congenital heart disease.
