Dr. Christopher J. Roth

As a Duke neuroradiology physician, I have several primary areas of expertise. First, I interpret diagnostic MRI and CT scan images of patients with a variety of neurologic and spinal conditions, and guide the patient’s team towards the correct next care steps. Second, I perform image-guided invasive procedures for diagnosis of spine, head and neck masses and disease states. Finally, I see patients directly in our Duke Radiology spinal pain management clinic for the treatment of neck pain, back pain and radiating leg pain from spine degeneration. Serving as the Duke Department of Radiology Vice Chair for Health Information Technology and Clinical Informatics, and also as the Director of Imaging Informatics Strategy for Duke Health, I have a unique role as a physician leader for also assessing and implementing imaging technologies, clinical decision support, image sharing capabilities across North Carolina, and ensuring the usability and integrity of our electronic patient record.
