Radiology, medicine professor listed as top cardiac imaging specialists Joseph Schoepf, M.D., CT Research and Development director, will be listed as one of the world's top 10 cardiac imaging specialists in the field in the April issue of “Medical Imaging.” It is the second time Schoepf has been ranked in the top 10 by “Medical Imaging.”   “Again, I'm deeply honored to have my humble contributions to the field so graciously acknowledged by the vast readership of ‘Medical Imaging,’” said Schoepf, who also is co-director of MUSC's Center for Advanced Imaging Research. “It is a very pleasant surprise for me to see how much my work is noticed in the medical imaging community. Of course, this will entice me to continue my quest to provide the best possible service to my patients and serve as a source of information and education for people interested in and involved with cardiovascular imaging.”   Schoepf said it was his goal to foster and develop the field of cardiovascular imaging at MUSC to the highest possible level of excellence, and was proud and excited with the help and support he has received in reaching that goal.   “The entire enterprise is pulling together to make cardiovascular imaging an interdisciplinary showcase of our institution's excellence on a national and international level,” he said. “This year we will be moving our cardiovascular imaging enterprise into a brand new state-of-the-art facility, which will provide the utmost in comprehensive, interdisciplinary cardiovascular care for our patients. This facility will be complete with cutting edge equipment including cardiovascular MRI, nuclear medicine and computed tomography scanning facilities in immediate vicinity to cardiology clinics, the acute chest pain unit and cardiothoracic surgery suites. Of course, I will continue my efforts to further the cause of cardiovascular imaging as a caregiver, researcher and educator with all my strength and honors and acknowledgments such as the one now bestowed on me by the readers of ‘Medical Imaging.’”     Friday, March 23, 2007 Catalyst Online is published weekly, updated as needed and improved from time to time by the MUSC Office of Public Relations for the faculty, employees and students of the Medical University of South Carolina.
