Our thoracic radiologists are internationally recognized experts in the field of thoracic imaging. Many of the radiologists in our section have advanced fellowship training in cardiothoracic imaging.We specialize in all aspects of lung disorders including: Interstitial lung disease Pulmonary infections Primary and secondary thoracic malignancies Mediastinal masses Pleural disease Occupational disorders Emphysema Diseases affecting the large and small airways (such as asthma, bronchiectasis, and tracheomalacia) We offer our patients a full range of diagnostic examinations, such as chest radiography, chest fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT) of the chest, high-resolution chest CT, low-dose screening chest CT, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest. We have an active consultation service and work closely with clinicians at Yale New Haven Hospital, including those specializing in pulmonary and critical care medicine, general medicine and its subspecialties, thoracic and general oncology, cardiac and thoracic surgery, pulmonary pathology, radiation oncology, and cardiology. We regularly participate in multidisciplinary conferences that encompass a broad spectrum of comprehensive programs for common lung disorders, including pulmonary diseases rarely encountered elsewhere. In addition, we are a vital part of theYale Cancer Center’s Lung Screening Program.

Children’s safety is our top priority. Our dedicated radiologists are trained in pediatric radiology and provide compassionate and personalized care to each of our patients. We use advanced imaging techniques and work closely with pediatric providers to determine the best way to diagnose a specific problem. We maintain the highest standards of care and patient safety. For exams that require radiation, special attention is given to minimize the radiation dose during a child’s exam without affecting image quality. We offer the latest in technology and equipment, and utilize a variety of imaging techniques, such as fluoroscopy, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and X-rays to accurately detect and diagnose disease.

Our physicians play a critical role in the timely diagnosis and management of acutely ill patients. As an integral part of a Level I trauma center, we provide comprehensive imaging services for our inpatients and outpatients. We provide highly specialized care in all areas of acute care imaging, and are pioneers in developing emergency radiology standards of care.
