Research summary

Dr. Kirkpatrick has authored several papers on CT of the bowel, including the most comprehensive clinical studies available on CT for C. difficile colitis and gastrointestinal complications of neutropenia. He was the first to describe and popularize the use of multiphasic CT scanning for the diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia, using both a CT angiogram with venous-phase imaging to improve early detection of the disease.  This remains a strong research interest. Dr. Kirkpatrick also authors clinical research on cardiac and renal CT/MR.

More recent research has been focused on the development of national clinical practice guidelines in affiliation with the Canadian Association of Radiology.
