Welcome to the Stony Brook Radiology's Division of Abdominal Imaging. The division subspecializes in diseases of the gastrointestinal (GI), genitourinary (GU), and abdominal/pelvic vascular systems. Our division includes radiologists specializing in CT (computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), PET/MRI (positron emission tomography with MRI) and fluoroscopy. This division also encompasses the ultrasound section which is responsible for all abdominal, pelvic, neonatal, early fetal, pediatric, thyroid, and neonatal cranial ultrasound.
