Get to know Pediatric Neuroradiologist Dr. Karen Moeller, who serves patients in Louisville, Kentucky.

Voted by her peers as one of Louisville Magazine’s Top Docs for 2019, Dr. Moeller is a fellowship-trained pediatric neuroradiologist. She is a part of the radiology team at Norton Children’s Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky.

A part of Norton Healthcare and affiliated with UofL School of Medicine, the radiology team at Norton Children’s Hospital offer a wide variety of diagnostic imaging and radiology services for children of all ages. The equipment and techniques are designed “Just for Kids” and the age-appropriate care offered to help reduce anxiety includes music, lighting, videos, and other distractions.

A 1990 graduate of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Dr. Moeller went on to complete her residency in diagnostic radiology at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in 2000. This was followed by fellowships in pediatric radiology and pediatric neuroradiology at Boston Children’s Hospital in 2001 and 2002, respectively. 

Following her education, she became board-certified in neuroradiology and pediatric radiology by the American Board of Radiology, whose mission is to certify that its diplomates demonstrate the requisite knowledge, skill, and understanding of their disciplines to the benefit of patients.

Pediatric neuroradiologists specialize in the imaging and diagnosis of conditions of the brain and central nervous system in fetuses, infants, children, and adolescents. They also care for older patients who have survived a congenital or childhood condition of the nervous system. Subspecialization allows physicians to acquire a deeper knowledge of their area of focus, thereby increasing the accuracy of study interpretation, reducing the need for repeat studies, and promoting improved outcomes.
