He became a consultant radiologist with a special interest in breast imaging in 1992. He was appointed director of the Nottingham International Breast Education Centre in 2006. In 2009 Andy moved to Dundee to become professor of breast imaging. He is the author of over 130 peer reviewed papers, 4 books and 14 book chapters. He is the current chairman of the British Society of Breast Radiology. Andy plays the French horn and is a successful composer of classical music.

Professor Evans' main current breast research interests are shear wave elastography of the breast, digital breast tomosynthesis, breast screening and biopsy of axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer patients
