Henrietta Kotlus Rosenberg MD

Dr. Henrietta Kotlus Rosenberg, Professor of Radiology and Pediatrics at the Icahn school of Medicine, serves as the Radiologist-in-Chief at Kravis Children’s Hospital at Mount Sinai and as Director of Pediatric Radiology at Mount Sinai Medical Center. She runs a busy multimodality pediatric radiology service that provides high quality care in a well-equipped comforting cozy environment that is designed to minimize fear and anxiety by distracting and entertaining the children and their families. Dr. Rosenberg provides comprehensive imaging care for patients whose ages range from the tiniest premature infant up to 21 years. She has many years of experience with a wide gamut of routine and complex diagnostic dilemmas and works closely with her clinical colleagues to ensure that the type of imaging that is employed is, whenever possible, non-invasive and non-ionizing, and does not require intravenous contrast material, sedation, and/or anesthesia. Most of her 129 publications and clinical research projects primarily emphasize the efficacy of US for evaluation of a multitude of abnormalities that affect pediatric patients with clarification as to when higher tech imaging is needed. Since her arrival at Mount Sinai in 2005, protocols for the work-up of many conditions in pediatric patients have changed including the use of ultrasound (US) for evaluation of congenital and acquired abnormalities of the infant brain and neck, hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, intussusception, appendicitis, bowel disease, chest abnormalities (empyema, focal airspace consolidation), mass, diaphragmatic hernia), hip US in infants and older babies, post liver and renal transplants, various tumors, and a wide range of superficial lumps and bumps that hitherto required fluoroscopy, CT or MRI.
