Coulter Cranston, MD

Professional Background

Dr. Cranston attended the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Kansas City where he developed a passion for diagnostics. From KU, he went on to complete an internship in the Chicagoland area before undergoing his residency in diagnostic radiology at the University of Pennsylvania. During his final year in Philadelphia, he completed an integrated fellowship year in nuclear medicine, during which he gained subspecialty expertise in nuclear medicine, including utilization of emerging PET agents, theranostics and treatment with agents such as Pluvicto and Lutathera. He then went back to Chicago to undergo subspecialty training in abdominal imaging with a focus on MRI.

In addition to imaging and nuclear medicine therapeutics, Dr. Cranston also has an interest in imaging and clinical informatics, with a focus on workflow optimization. He believes that providers are able to provide the best care particularly when they are augmented--rather than hindered--by the technology they use on a day-to-day, patient-to-patient basis.

Dr. Cranston has a passion for utilizing imaging to gain insight into the complex processes that make up each and every patient, using that information to provide answers to difficult questions that patients and providers often find frustrating. He also finds immense satisfaction in being part of the collaborative atmosphere at the University of Kansas Health System, where providers from across the institution work together to provide the best diagnosis and treatment possible.
