Radiology

 Print

“I believe that imaging and image-guided procedures play a central role in quickly and accurately establishing a diagnosis, as well as assessing treatment efficacy over time. I enjoy working with a dedicated sub-specialty team to ensure appropriate patient-specific therapy in a timely fashion.”

— Dr. O'Malley

Why do you practice radiology?

Healthcare provides a unique opportunity to help and serve in a scientifically dynamic field. Cancer affects everyone and I want to be a part of the movement that continually strives to more effectively diagnose and treat patients with cancer. I hope to see imaging continue to evolve to allow earlier means of noninvasive diagnosis with resultant improvement in quality of life and survival. I also hope to see newer imaging techniques allow for increasingly precise ways of planning and assessing treatment response so that patients can truly receive individualized therapy. Outside of work, I enjoy playing and watching baseball, football, basketball; listening to music; baking and playing with my two daughters.
