Higher education

Menias began her career in diagnostic radiology as a body imager in the abdominal imaging section before serving as co-director of body computed tomography and emergency radiology and the assistant residency program director of radiology at Washington University's Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology in St. Louis. Menias currently holds an adjunct professorship at the institution. [5] After 15 years on the faculty of Washington University, [3]  Menias joined Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2013 as professor of radiology. In 2016, she became the chair of the abdominal imaging section at Mayo Clinic Arizona until 2020. [6]

Menias also lectured as visiting professor at multiple national and international universities and hospitals. Receiving the 2016 Society of Abdominal Radiology's Igor Laufer, M.D. Traveling Visiting Professor Award provided Menias the opportunity to visit over 20 university programs both domestically and internationally.

Menias' work focuses primarily on abdominal imaging with special interests in oncologic, transplant, gynecologic, and emergency radiology. [3]
