Jill E. Jacobs, MD

As a dedicated radiologist at NYU Langone, I am passionate about using advanced imaging technologies to enhance patient care and wellbeing. My approach to medicine is deeply rooted in a commitment to proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring that each patient receives personalized and comprehensive care. I find immense satisfaction in the diagnostic process, piecing together clues from patient images to uncover the underlying causes of their health issues.

I specialize in computed tomography (CT) imaging of the heart, including coronary CT angiography, CT calcium score imaging, and CT pulmonary vein imaging. With over 20 years of experience, I have honed my expertise in cardiac CT imaging, working alongside the Radiology Department Cardiac Imaging Team at NYU Langone. Our team utilizes state-of-the-art CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology to diagnose a wide range of cardiac conditions, such as coronary artery disease, myocardial ischemia, and structural abnormalities. Our cutting-edge photon counting CT scanner allows us to perform ultra-high-resolution imaging with minimal radiation exposure, enhancing our diagnostic capabilities and patient safety.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to advancing the field of radiology through research and education. I have authored numerous articles on cardiac CT and abdominal imaging, and I frequently lecture at national and international radiologic meetings. My commitment to quality patient care has been recognized with several prestigious awards, including being named a Top Doctor in NY annually since 2013 and receiving the North American Society for Cardiovascular Imaging Society Gold Medal Award in 2023. I am honored to be a Fellow of multiple esteemed organizations, including the American College of Radiology and the American Heart Association.

My journey into medicine was inspired by my father, a small-town family practitioner whose dedication to his patients left a lasting impression on me. In medical school, I was captivated by the role of radiology in clinical diagnosis and the potential of CT imaging to revolutionize the assessment of heart disease. This passion led me to specialize in cardiac CT imaging, driven by a personal connection to heart disease, which has affected my family for generations. My educational background includes a master of science degree in healthcare quality and safety management from Thomas Jefferson University, further underscoring my commitment to delivering the highest standard of care.
