Marcos P. Ferreira Botelho, MD

Personal Statement

My extensive training and practice in Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging, primarily directed towards children’s health has enabled me to think critically and look for the best tools for diagnosing childhood illnesses. I am happy and honored to serve the Houston and Texas Community, as well as people from all over the world that seek help at Texas Children’s Hospital. The cutting-edge imaging equipment arsenal and medical knowledge available to TCH patients is invaluable and being a part of this team is extremely satisfying.

Clinical Interests:

I am currently part of the body and cardiac sections at TCH, a group known for its professionalism and excellence. My goals are to provide the best currently available diagnostic options for families seeking help for their children. I am particularly interested in collaborating with the pediatric cardiologists and heart surgeons to provide excellent care in patients with all sorts of congenital heart conditions.

Research Interests:

I am interested in improving the uses of the available technology in Radiology as well as bringing innovations to practice in my field. One of the aspects of my current research relates to using new artificial intelligence algorithms to facilitate the detection of subtle abnormalities in imaging exams.
