ROBERT L. KAGAN, M.D. F.C.A.P.
MEDICAL DIRECTOR

Dr. Kagan is nationally recognized in the fields of Nuclear Medicine and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). He has consistently introduced cutting edge medical technology with its clinical applications to Florida physicians and their patients. In 1977, he opened the first Nuclear Cardiology laboratory in Florida. In 1983, when it was still considered an experimental technique, he opened the first outpatient MRI facility in Florida. His was the first facility to receive FDA approval on April 1, 1984. He provided the first mobile MRI service in 1986. In 1987, he opened the first Open MRI center in the state of Florida. In the 1990's, he provided the first outpatient installation in South Florida of the Siemens Somaton Sensation, a 16 multi-slice detector spiral CT Scanner. This is the only non-invasive diagnostic test which can detect non-obstructive coronary artherosclerosis and therefore can predict who is susceptible to the development of coronary artery disease years before any symptoms may occur.

Dr. Kagan is the Medical Director of the MRI Scan & Imaging Centers. He is also the Medical Director of Body Vision, a diagnostic facility which houses South Florida's first ultra-fast 16 multi-slice CT Scanner. This test is non-invasive, inexpensive and can be completed in less than five (5) minutes. Prior to opening the first outpatient MRI center in Florida, Dr. Kagan was the Medical Director of Nuclear Medicine at Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale and Clinical Assistant Professor of Radiology at the University of Miami. He is Board Certified in Clinical Pathology, Nuclear Medicine and Hyperbaric Medicine.

Dr. Kagan received his M.D. degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine. His postgraduate medical education included a medical internship at the University of California San Francisco and residency training programs in Pathology and Nuclear Medicine at the National Institutes of Health. He completed fellowships in Magnetic Resonance Imaging at the University of California San Francisco and Huntington Memorial Research Laboratories in Pasadena. he has held professional offices in several organizations including President of the Florida Association of Nuclear Physicians and Chairman of the Board of the Nuclear Medicine Resource Committee of the College of American Pathologists.

Dr. Kagan has published many papers in peer reviewed journals and has been an invited lecturer nationally and internationally in Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Nuclear Medicine. In 1992, President Clinton appointed Dr. Kagan as the only physician commissioner on the White House Fellowship Commission. He is a member of numerous medical societies including the Radiologic Society of North America, the Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, the International Society of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, the Institute for Clinical PET American College of Nuclear Physicians, the College of American Pathologists, Society for Clinical Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and the American Roentgen Ray Society.

CARL GENE COIN, M.D.
CHIEF RADIOLOGIST

Dr. Coin is a leader in the use of the X-ray CT Scan and a specialist in radiology, neuroradiology and nuclear medicine. He is Clinical Director of MRI Services of the MRI Scan & Imaging Center, Ft. Lauderdale, FL and Chief of Radiology at Body Vision, a diagnostic facility which houses South Florida's first ultra-fast 16 multi-slice CT Scanner.

He is certified by the American Boad of Radiology in Diagnosis, Therapy and Neuroradiology. He is also certified in Nuclear Medicine by the American Board of Nuclear Medicine.

Dr. Coin received his medical degree from the University of Oklahoma School of Medicine. His post graduate medical education includes family practice internship at Sacramento County Hospital, and Radiology Residency at the University of Oklahoma. Additionally, he served a fellowship in Neuroradiology at UCLA, where he was also an associate research radiologist.

He has held chairmanships at St. Anthony Hospital in Oklahoma City and the Lovelace Clinic/Bataan Memorial Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Additionally, he filled faculty appointments with the University of Oklahoma, the University of New Mexico and the University of Miami.

Dr. Coin has many honors including the 1979 General Electric Company New Frontiers Award for advancement in Medical Technology. Dr. Coin holds imaging patents in computed tomography (CT scanning) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) including CT colonoscopy, a new non-invasive method for examination of the colon to detect polyps and colon cancer.

He is a member of several medical societies including the Radiological Society of North America, the American Society of Neuroradiology, the Southern Medical Association and the American Society of Nuclear Medicine.

Dr. Coin has published many papers and articles and has given lectures and talks worldwide on CAT Scan and Neuroradiology.

Dr. Coin, who is the originator of CT arteriography, considers his most important life works are in the field of preventive medicine. Namely two accomplishments are the development of non-invasive diagnosis of coronary artery disease (the #1 killer of men and women) and his contributions to early non-invasive diagnosis of lung and colon tumors.
