Tessa S. Cook, MD, PhD

Associate Professor of Radiology
University of Pennsylvania

Dr. Cook is an Associate Professor of Radiology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and Vice Chair of Practice Transformation in the Department of Radiology. She has a strong background in imaging informatics, having completed her doctoral work in quantitative image processing in the Penn Image Computing and Science Laboratory (PICSL). During her residency, Dr. Cook developed RADIANCE, only the second open-source radiation exposure monitoring tool used worldwide in 2010. She is an active member of multiple radiology societies, including the SIIM, ACR, AUR, and RSNA. She received one of the 2011 E. Stephen Amis, Jr. Fellowships in Quality and Safety from the ACR. She was one of the four AUR GERRAF fellows for 2013-2015. Dr. Cook currently enjoys an academic appointment in radiology that enables her to continue her clinical work in cardiovascular imaging and research in imaging informatics. She is the director of the Imaging Informatics Fellowship in the Department of Radiology, as well as the clinical director of the 3-D and Advanced Imaging Laboratory. In 2020, Dr. Cook was inducted into the College of SIIM Fellows and received the inaugural Dr. Ruth Dayhoff Award for the Advancement of Women in Medical Imaging Informatics. She is the past Chair of SIIM. Dr. Cook’s research sits squarely at the intersection of imaging informatics and health services. In her various roles, she is pursuing innovative methods to enhance the delivery of longitudinal patient care in radiology and improve radiologists' workflow.
