In these roles, she has worked tirelessly to help the Department fulfill its clinical, education and research missions both at the level of the MUHC and McGill University.

Dr. Reinhold’s area of clinical expertise is abdominal imaging, with a special interest in the female pelvis, which is also the focus of her research program. She has written over 200 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters on various aspects of abdominal imaging and has given numerous invited lectures globally.
