Division of Abdominal Imaging & Interventions
Abdominal Imaging & Interventions Care, Research & Education
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center’s (BIDMC) Division of Abdominal Imaging & Interventions is a leader in performing and interpreting medical images, offering comprehensive imaging services that support a wide range of clinical diagnoses and interventions.
Each year, our specialists interpret more than 30,000 CT scans, 13,000 MRIs, and 50,000 ultrasounds, and perform over 1,000 CT-guided procedures, 2,800 ultrasound-guided procedures, and 250 MRI-guided prostate biopsies. To support these efforts, we use the Change Healthcare (McKesson) PACS system, along with the Conserus Workflow Intelligence solution and Fluency for Imaging dictation system.
The division is also dedicated to advancing the field through research aimed at improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes. We offer specialized fellowships in abdominal imaging and interventions, providing advanced training for the next generation of leaders.
