Dr. Gruden received his Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Preprofessional Studies from the University of Notre Dame in 1983 before earning his Medical Degree from the University of Miami in 1987. He completed his intern year in Internal Medicine at New York Medical College before moving on to his Diagnostic Radiology residency at Cornell Medical Center and Cooperating Hospitals. He then continued his studies at the University of California-San Francisco, where he completed his Fellowship in Thoracic imaging. He recently came to us from Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, where he has held the position of Professor since 2015.

His primary experience is in Cardiothoracic CT, CT protocol optimization, and CT image post-processing. Some of his specific interests center on high-resolution imaging of diffuse lung disease and the imaging findings in infiltrative lung disease, imaging of the pulmonary vasculature, and lung cancer screening and post-treatment assessment. Other activities and interests include workflow optimization, clinical operations, and involvement of the radiologist indirect patient communication. Most recently, he enjoys focusing on problems and pitfalls in the current trend to rely solely on “expert” consensus recommendations as to the foundation for practice without critical analysis. He is currently focused on long-term pulmonary sequelae of Covid-19 infection and, in 2021, was a Co-Investigator and Lead Radiologist, Boehringer-Ingelheim Clinical Study COVID-related Pulmonary Complications.
