Dr. Lina Alqublan is a Saudi Consultant Pediatric Radiologist and Neuroradiologist at King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital (KFAFH), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. She is also identified in professional sources as Head of the Pediatric Radiology Section at KFAFH. Her clinical and academic work focuses on pediatric imaging, pediatric neuroradiology, MRI, CT, and diagnostic radiology, with particular experience in imaging neurological and developmental disorders in children.
Dr. Alqublan completed her initial radiology training in Saudi Arabia and subsequently pursued advanced subspecialty training in Canada. Available professional records indicate that she completed a Saudi Board in Radiology and later undertook a fellowship in Pediatric Radiology at the University of Manitoba. She was a clinical fellow in the University of Manitoba system from approximately 2014–2016.
Her Canadian training was conducted through the Department of Radiology, Max Rady College of Medicine, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, where she was associated with the Section of Pediatric Radiology.
She has also completed a Master of Science in Healthcare Management from SBS Swiss Business School, which she reported completing in 2024.
Dr. Alqublan's professional expertise includes:
Her work in pediatric neuroradiology includes the imaging evaluation of children with neurological and genetic disorders, including neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).
Dr. Alqublan has contributed to peer-reviewed research in pediatric neuroradiology and pediatric infectious disease imaging.
One notable research contribution was a two-part study on cerebellar radiological abnormalities in children with neurofibromatosis type 1. In the study, she was responsible for reviewing MRI examinations, collecting imaging data, verifying the accuracy of the imaging findings, and contributing to the interpretation and manuscript preparation.
The research investigated the frequency and characteristics of cerebellar abnormalities in children with NF1 and examined their relationship with clinical manifestations. A companion study examined the natural history of these neuroimaging findings and their clinical correlations.
She was also a co-author of a study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology examining the imaging patterns of pediatric pulmonary blastomycosis. The research evaluated chest imaging findings in children with this uncommon fungal infection and contributed to understanding its radiological presentation.
Dr. Alqublan is active in professional radiology education in Saudi Arabia. In 2025, she participated in the Radiological Society of Saudi Arabia (RSSA) Conference, where she delivered a presentation on body imaging in non-accidental trauma and moderated sessions in Pediatric Neuroradiology. This reflects her involvement in both pediatric imaging education and multidisciplinary approaches to child protection.
Her professional activities also include participation in radiology examinations and examination-related committees. She has described serving as a member of an examination committee and participating as an examiner, demonstrating involvement in professional assessment and specialist education.
Her documented research and professional interests include:
ResearchGate currently lists three publications and 43 citations for her profile, although this may not represent her complete publication record.
