Cardiothoracic Imaging
The Cardiothoracic Radiology at Albany Medical Center performs state-of-the-art imaging utilizing x-ray, the latest generation computed tomography (CT) imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate and diagnose cardiac and pulmonary disorders. Our fellowship trained cardiothoracic radiologists work in close collaboration our pulmonologists, cardiothoracic surgeons and cardiologists both in the reading room and during multidisciplinary conferences to optimize patient imaging.
We work closely with our residents beginning in the first year as they learn the basics of interpreting chest x-rays and chest CTs. During subsequent years, they begin to participate in more advanced imaging including cardiac MRI. We offer a one year Cardiothoracic Fellowship for those looking for further specialization.
