Phuong-Anh T. Duong, MD

As a chest radiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing compassionate care through meticulous imaging and diagnosis. My passion for radiology stems from the unique ability to combine imaging clues with a patient's clinical history to form accurate diagnoses. The satisfaction I derive from solving diagnostic puzzles, such as identifying conditions from a chest radiograph and patient history, fuels my commitment to this field.

I specialize in computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and X-ray imaging of the chest. I work closely with pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons to diagnose lung diseases, including lung cancer, interstitial lung disease, lung infections, and vascular diseases. With a focus on comprehensive care, I take the time to review patients' clinical histories and doctors' notes thoroughly, ensuring my diagnoses and recommendations consider the entire clinical picture. My goal is to provide high-quality, safe imaging that supports effective treatment plans.

Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in initiatives to enhance the quality and safety of medical imaging. I serve on the executive committee for Image Wisely^®, an organization dedicated to radiation safety education for medical professionals. Additionally, I develop national metrics with the American College of Radiology to measure the quality of medical imaging. As chair of the non-interpretive skills committee for the American Board of Radiology, I help set standards for practicing radiologists, ensuring they understand their ethical responsibilities and possess the skills to care for patients safely.

My scholarly work focuses on establishing best practices for radiation safety in CT imaging and applying quality improvement methodologies to enhance the safety, quality, and timeliness of medical care. As the first in my family to pursue a medical career, I developed a passion for radiology during in medical school. The ability to impact patient care through precise and informed imaging continues to inspire me daily.
