7Additional Information
Radiologists are medical doctors who coordinate and interpret medical imaging such as CT (or CAT) scans, MRI, x-rays, ultrasounds, and nuclear medicine imaging. We are trained in the human body from head-to-toe, elderly to newborns, mammograms to brain MRI to foot x-rays to liver CT. Board-certified in Diagnostic-Radiology, I also have subspecialty fellowship training in both Body Imaging and Emergency Radiology. This has allowed me to become a true expert in the diseases, infections, cancers, and trauma affecting the torso. My particular interest is “incidentalomas” or incidental findings found while imaging for another purpose, such as lung nodules and colon masses. Experienced in testifying in malpractice and criminal cases, I have educated jury on complex disease processes in simple relatable terms to the lay-person. I take ownership over the imaging aspects of your case and will assist with trial demonstratives and 3D printing. The overwhelming majority of my time is spent not as an expert witness, but as a full-time practicing radiologist. I hold an academic appointment at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and provide overnight emergency radiology services in western Pennsylvania. For 7 consecutive years, I have been awarded a coveted “UPMC Department of Radiology Excellence in Teaching Award”. Please review my CV and visit my website for more information: RobertFreedMD.com
