Body Imaging

Body Imaging is a subspecialty of radiology focusing on the characterization and diagnosis of abnormalities of the chest abdomen and pelvis using various imaging modalities. Multidisciplinary meetings involving the radiology and surgery departments, steered by the residents and facilitated by faculty are held every week where challenging cases and patient management are discussed.
