Anne Covey, MD
Interventional Radiologist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

About Me
- Attending Radiologist
I am an interventional radiologist who uses CT, MRI, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, and other image guidance to perform minimally invasive procedures. I am passionate about using imaging to avoid the need for an operation. This lets people with cancer have faster recoveries and enhances their quality of life. The procedures I can perform include venous access; drainages of abscesses, fluid collections, and obstructed systems; peripheral angiography; and tumor embolization. I have been practicing radiology at MSK since 2000.

My primary focus is the minimally invasive treatment of tumors involving the liver and bile ducts. This includes embolotherapy — killing the tumor by blocking the arteries that supply it — and ablation — the application of extreme heat or cold directly into tumors to kill tumor cells — for primary and metastatic liver tumors. I also perform procedures to treat blocked bile ducts in the liver that can cause symptoms of jaundice, infection, and itching. As a member of the Hepatobiliary Disease Management Team, I work with my colleagues from different specialties to provide the best cancer care possible. My research interests include hepatocellular carcinoma and biliary intervention.
I am a trustee of the American Board of Radiology. This position involves creating and delivering the certifying exam for diagnostic radiologists and the new interventional radiology residency.
I also serve on the hepatobiliary panel of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, which guides patient care. I co-wrote its principles of locoregional therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Working at MSK is extremely rewarding because of the shared mission of all our staff to deliver top-notch care. I enjoy working with people with cancer because we have the same goal: beating cancer. I am proud to work here and am grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with an outstanding team of doctors, nurses, and technologists.
An interventional (IN-ter-VEN-shun-al) radiologist is a doctor with special training in using image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat disease.
