Education and training After qualifying from University College, Dublin, Dr Ridge completed radiology specialist registrar training at St Vincent’s Hospital, Dublin. She then moved to America in a cardiothoracic imaging fellow position at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre. This was followed by a body imaging fellowship and subsequently a vascular and interventional radiology fellowship at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre. Dr Ridge is strongly committed to cardiothoracic, oncologic imaging and interventional radiology. In her role as a consultant radiologist at the Trust, she has clinical expertise in cardiothoracic imaging and lung tumour ablation. Her research work in these fields was acknowledged with a Radiologic Society of North America Roentgen Fellow Research Award in 2013. Her research interests include lung cancer diagnosis and treatment, cardiac and pulmonary embolism imaging. This reflects her passion for investigation, learning and task completion in terms of exploring these conditions. Now, in her consultant position, she enjoys mentoring junior doctors in pursuing their research interests. Dr Ridge interprets thoracic and cardiovascular imaging studies, including that of patients with acute and congenital aortopathy, coronary artery and congenital heart disease. She is a also member of the lung cancer multidisciplinary team and performs CT and PET-CT staging, CT-guided biopsy, fiducial localization, and thermal ablation. Since 2009, Dr Ridge has had a number of academic appointments in America and Ireland. In the US, she held lecturer, mentor and tutor positions at UCD School of Medicine and Health Science, Harvard Medical School and New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell respectively. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fb6e951a584ea060fea63/1517272453083-WQ4OAPLNUZPVG5ZYKPYD/Figure+3B.jpg biography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fb6e951a584ea060fea63/1733355797040-3XR3XHWGZGEREQQR08PT/image-asset.jpg biography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fb6e951a584ea060fea63/1733355797040-3XR3XHWGZGEREQQR08PT/image-asset.jpg biography https://www.caroleridge.com/about daily 0.75 2025-08-26 https://www.caroleridge.com/lectures daily 0.75 2022-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fb6e951a584ea060fea63/1527326491737-6JWTM82CTP0AR2ON5QIS/Background.jpg lectures - Society of Thoracic Radiologists Annual Meeting, Texas, 2018 .
