Our Thoracic Imaging radiologists are participating in the forefront of all cardiothoracic imaging modalities. This section is a large contributor to fellow, resident, and medical student education, and research in the Department of Radiology. The Thoracic Imaging Section is fortunate to have many individuals with national reputations. We feel privileged to be able to assist all of our patients and referring physicians with their thoracic imaging needs.
