It's very rare for a patient to come to Rush for any diagnosis and not to have some type
of imaging - whether it be very straightforward and common tests like a chest X-ray or some
of the very specialized exams that we do here at Rush, like a dedicated liver MRI [magnetic
resonance imaging] or a cardiac MRI. So that was the appeal of radiology. It was the chance
to participate in all of the different areas of care at the same time and not to really
have to limit myself to one part of the body or to one disease process.
I get to see when a patient responds to therapy. And I get to feel that personal success as
well, because I know that it's a case that's been successfully treated.
Working at a large medical center like Rush that has the type of advanced resources to
make the radiology and keep it up to date. We really get to be on the cutting edge of
radiology, and we use those techniques every single day.
