Meet Our Radiologists

Certified by the American Board of Radiology

RCI radiologists are all certified by the American Board of Radiology, and many have performed the extensive clinical work and related research required to earn subspecialty expertise in musculoskeletal, interventional or women’s imaging including mammography and ultrasound.

In addition, each of our highly specialized radiographers has undergone extensive diagnostic equipment training in order to provide optimal images for our radiologists’ interpretation.
