Dr. Cristina Păltănea

Dr. Cristina Păltănea is a senior physician in Radiology and Medical Imaging. Her residency at the Fundeni Clinical Institute gave Dr. Păltănea the opportunity to become familiar with oncological pathologies and subsequently to specialize in oncological imaging diagnostics. Dr. Păltănea’s areas of expertise include: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—brain, abdomen and pelvis, pituitary gland, orbits, facial bones, cervical region, musculoskeletal examinations, pelvic bones, and joints; computed tomography (CT)—brain, neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis; standard adult radiology—interpretation of chest X-rays, skeletal system X-rays, abdominal X-rays, barium enema studies, and Pansdorff studies; adult ultrasound—neck, axilla, abdomen, and pelvis.

Dr. Păltănea’s expertise in performing brain and musculoskeletal imaging studies is complemented by his empathy, and the state-of-the-art equipment further enhances and refines the diagnostic process.

We are proud to have had Dr. Păltănea with us for over 10 years, during which time many patients have come to feel “right at home” after their first interaction with her. Imaging of brain disorders—a field in which Dr. Păltănea excels—requires long-term patient monitoring; therefore, the doctor-patient relationship must be based on trust and mutual respect.

Patients will always find support in Dr. Păltănea, because the role of a radiologist is not only to interpret images, but also to guide patients on their path to recovery and offer them support when they need it.
