About Me
I am an abdominal imaging specialist, and I also serve as the vice chair of clinical operations. My main clinical and research interests are related to CT and MRI uses in the abdomen and pelvis with a special interest in inflammatory bowel disease. I have strong clinical and research collaborations with the Division of Colorectal Surgery and Gastroenterology. Much of my work focuses on improving the detection and treatment of IBD with a goal to improve the care for our patients with IBD through a customized treatment plan via a multidisciplinary team approach.
