Additional Information

My name is Dr. David A. Picca, and I am a board-certified Radiologist offering expert witness services throughout Florida, the Southeast and the entire United States. Based in the Tampa Bay area, I bring over 27 years of experience in both clinical practice and medical education. I am a graduate of Emory University School of Medicine, where I began my medical career in Internal Medicine, completing a full residency and earning board certification. I subsequently pursued a residency in Diagnostic Radiology and additional fellowship training in MRI, with focused expertise in neuroradiology, abdominal imaging, and musculoskeletal imaging. The majority of my radiology career was spent at Tampa General Hospital, a Level I trauma center, where I served as an Affiliate Assistant Professor at the University of South Florida. In that role, I had the privilege of mentoring hundreds of radiology residents through hands-on instruction at the workstation, as well as delivering lectures and leading didactic conferences. My experience includes interpreting a wide spectrum of imaging—from routine studies to high-profile trauma cases. My areas of expertise include, but are not limited to: general X-ray, fluoroscopy, mammography, ultrasound, CT, CTA, MRI, MRA, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), NeuroQuant, Nuclear Medicine, neuroradiology including traumatic brain imaging (TBI), musculoskeletal/orthopedic imaging, pulmonary imaging, abdominal imaging including gastrointestinal and genitourinary imaging, breast imaging, oncology imaging, pediatric imaging, trauma and non-accidental trauma, criminal forensic imaging and image-guided procedures such as biopsies, aspirations, fine-needle aspirations, abscess drainage, and pain/steroid injections. In addition to my technical proficiency, I pride myself on the ability to communicate complex radiological findings in a clear, accessible manner—an essential skill in both legal and educational contexts.
