Caleb Epps, MD, MS

Dr. Epps is expanding access to fast, radiation-free imaging for children while helping grow his practice’s pediatric business.

Since joining Wake Radiology UNC Health Rex in July 2024, Dr. Epps has created the Rapid Pediatric Abdominal MRI program, which replaces multiple studies, including CT, with a single MRI when time is critical for children with abdominal pain. The program completed more than 150 studies in its first year. He also launched Wake County’s first contrast-enhanced ultrasound program, offering a radiation-free alternative to fluoroscopic voiding cystourethrography for vesicoureteral reflux.

On the business side, Dr. Epps initiated and implemented a pediatric teleradiology service line, executing professional service agreements with an out-of-state practice in need. This has significantly increased Wake Radiology UNC Health Rex’s outpatient pediatric imaging volume while providing pediatric imaging support to a practice in need. As a founding member of the practice’s business development committee and a sitting member of the finance and recruitment committees, he represented Wake Radiology UNC Health Rex at the 2026 Strategic Radiology Spring Summit and was selected by Strategic Radiology for a national “First Years in Practice” panel for radiology trainees.

Dr. Epps remains engaged in education, mentoring UNC medical students rotating through UNC Health Rex hospitals.
