The Abdominal Imaging Division at Jefferson consists of
attending physicians as well as body imaging fellows. The
attending physicians are board-certified radiologists specializing in
abdominal imaging, many of whom further subspecialize in specific body
regions or imaging techniques. The fellows are board-certified
radiologists who have chosen to obtain further advanced training as body
imaging specialists. Several of the members of the Division are
pioneers in the use of cross-sectional interventional techniques.
Services include:
- CT-guided biopsy
- CT angioplasty
- CT urography
- Multiphase postcontrast tmaging and advanced 3-D reconstruction
- CT enterography
An exciting new development in the Division is our ability to noninvasively visualize the coronary arteries and the functioning of the cardiac chambers using multidetector CT. This technique, known as coronary CT angiography, should be able to replace invasive cardiac catheterization in a significant percentage of patients with suspected heart disease.
The Division is engaged in research in a variety of areas, including
vascular imaging techniques, patient safety issues, dose reduction
techniques, gastrointestinal imaging and evaluation of the cancer patient.
