Abdominal Imaging and Intervention

The Abdominal Imaging and Intervention section is composed of subspecialized clinical faculty physicians and research scientists. The clinical faculty are experts in the use of CT, ultrasound, MRI, plain radiographs, and fluoroscopy for diagnosis and intervention in the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. We are actively involved in advancing the research mission of the University of Wisconsin, with extensive grant funding and independent research laboratories in tumor ablation and diapeutic cancer agents.

The section has an extensive educational component including hosting the senior vice chair of radiology (Dr. David Kim) and an associate residency program director (Dr. Timothy Ziemlewicz). The section also contributes to medical student externships, and supports up to six abdominal radiology fellows per year.

This is a cutting-edge section devoted to excellence and leadership in every part of our mission. We pride ourselves on our collegiality, and we are strongly committed to the education of the next generation of radiology leaders.
