Geoffrey D. Rubin, MD
Geoffrey D. Rubin, MD, began his role as chair of the Duke Department of Radiology in August 2010. Prior to his role at Duke, he was professor and chief of the section of cardiovascular imaging in Stanford University's Department of Radiology. He also held concurrent appointments as associate dean for clinical affairs, associate director of the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute, and vice chief of staff of Stanford Hospital and Clinics.
In research and clinical roles, Rubin pioneered the use of spiral computed tomography (CT) and multi-detector row CT for imaging the cardiovascular system, and has personally performed and interpreted more than 10,000 CT angiograms since 1991.
His current research interests focus on coupling cardiovascular and pulmonary CT and MRI with novel image processing techniques to detect, characterize, quantify, and visualize structures as aids in diagnosis and treatment planning. He has served as the principal investigator of two NIH research project grants (RO1) focused on imaging and analysis of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases: “Measurement of the Aorta and Its Branches” (1998-2003) and “Improving Radiologist Detection of Lung Nodules with CAD” (2004-present).
Rubin is the author of more than 135 peer-reviewed manuscripts and more than 50 review articles and book chapters. He has edited five books, including the recently published textbook CT and MR Angiography: Comprehensive Vascular Assessment. He has been listed annually in America’s Top Doctors and Best Doctors in America since 2002 and 2004, respectively. In 2008, he was awarded the Most Effective Radiology Educator award by AuntMinnie.com, a Web site for radiologists and related professionals in the medical imaging industry.
Rubin received his bachelor's degree with honors from Caltech in 1982 and medical degree from the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine in 1987. In 1993, he completed his radiology residency and body imaging fellowship training at Stanford. He currently serves as president-elect of the North American Society for Cardiovascular Imaging, president-elect of the Society of Computed Body Tomography & Magnetic Resonance, secretary of the Fleischner Society, and chair of the Committee on Cardiovascular Imaging at the American College of Radiology.
