Henrietta Rosenberg, MD

Dr. Henrietta Kotlus Rosenberg, MD,  FACR, FAAP, 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.

Dr. Rosenberg is recognized locally, nationally, and internationally for her unique ability to use ultrasound as a reliable, accurate, non-invasive practical tool for sorting out many problems encountered in the pediatric age range, thus obviating the need for radiation exposure whenever possible. She is a highly respected educator and a frequently invited speaker at local, national, and international meetings. Amongst her numerous honors are election to Fellowship in the American College of Radiology, Fellowship in the American Academy of Pediatrics, Fellowship in the Society for Radiologists in Ultrasound, and in the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine; Honorary Member of the Venezuelan Association of Ultrasound in Medicine; membership in Alpha Omega Alpha; Alumni Achievement Award from the Medical College of Pennsylvania; Excellence in Clinical Teaching citation University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, President’s Award American Association of Women Radiologists, Top Docs in Philadelphia and Best Doctors in New York City. Dr. Rosenberg served as a member of the Board of Governors of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine and has held leadership positions in other radiology societies. She served as a Diagnostic Radiology Board examiner and is a member of editorial boards and a frequent reviewer for several scientific journals.

Dr. Henrietta Kotlus Rosenberg thoroughly enjoys working with her colleagues in both the Departments of Pediatrics and Radiology and to having the opportunity to participate in the educational and academic missions of both departments as well as to provide imaging care for many patients and their families on a daily basis.
