Expert Imaging for All Abdominal and Pelvic Conditions

At Weill Cornell Medicine, our compassionate team of subspecialty-trained abdominopelvic radiologists provide leading diagnostic imaging to diagnose a wide range of conditions and assist your physicians in providing you with the best treatment options.

We understand that living with an abdominal or pelvic condition can be challenging — and that the idea of a diagnosis or treatment may be stressful. We are here to help you achieve the best possible quality of life.

Individualized Imaging Care for Your Abdominal or Pelvic Condition

The Abdominal and Pelvic Imaging Division at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center specializes in imaging of the body including advanced imaging of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the genitourinary (GU) system.

With fellowship-trained and world-renowned faculty, we provide services including radiography, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), PET/CT and PET/MRI.

As leaders in providing low-dose CT imaging and experts in advanced 3D image processing techniques, we provide the safest and most advanced diagnostic imaging care available. With imaging areas of sub-specialization including liver and biliary disease, inflammatory bowel disease, post-bariatric procedure imaging, pancreatic disorders, female pelvic imaging, prostate disease, adrenal abnormalities, as well as diagnosis and follow-up of abdominal and pelvic cancers, our faculty are proud to partner with and support the centers and physicians specializing in these diseases at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center to provide the highest level care and service to our patients.

Using the latest technology, our team of highly trained and experienced radiologists work in conjunction with your treatment team to precisely screen, understand and diagnose your specific health concern. We actively participate in multidisciplinary clinical care conferences to ensure the highest level of collaborative care. After diagnosis, your physician will guide you through the many treatment options and techniques available for your abdominal conditions.
