Biography

Dr. Dighe is the Medical Director of Ultrasound at the University of Washington and a UW professor of radiology. In addition to abdominal imaging, she is an expert in obstetric and thyroid imaging. She also conducts research on thyroid nodules using non-invasive ways to diagnose malignancy which includes ultrasound elastography. She also has a long interest and expertise in obstetric imaging and works closely with the Maternal Fetal Medicine group in UW to diagnose complex cases.

Dr. Dighe completed her residency in radiology in 2002. After completing her residency training, she underwent a year of abdominal imaging fellowship at the University of Washington Medical Center. Dr. Dighe joined the staff in August of 2004 as an acting assistant professor, becoming an assistant professor in 2005 and associate professor in 2011.
