Chairman’s Welcome<\/h2>\n

The Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging at the University of Virginia is a dynamic and growing Department with energetic faculty, outstanding residents and fellows, highly skilled technical and administrative staff, and state-of-the-art equipment. The Department takes pride in consistently promoting as its priorities excellence in clinical care, teaching, and research.<\/p>\n

Diversity and Inclusion<\/h4>\n

A diverse patient population deserves a diverse team to deliver their health care in an environment in which they can see themselves, an environment that honors their differences.\u00a0 Embracing a philosophy of \u201ceverybody in\u201d helps us better adapt our care models to meet the needs of and create a greater sense of hope for the patients we serve.<\/p>\n

Read about UVA Radiology’s commitment to facilitating diversity and inclusion in our Spring 2018 Keats Alumni Society Newsletter<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Likewise, read messages from the Chair on respect<\/strong><\/a>, the importance of new beginnings<\/strong><\/a>, facing change in medicine<\/strong><\/a>, or taking charge of change<\/strong><\/a> when it comes.<\/p>\n

Subspecialty Divisions<\/h4>\n

The Department is organized into the Divisions of Vascular\u00a0and Interventional Radiology<\/a><\/strong>, Breast Imaging<\/a><\/strong>, Pediatric Imaging<\/a><\/strong>, Body Imaging<\/a><\/strong>, Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology<\/a><\/strong>, Nuclear Medicine<\/a><\/strong>, Musculoskeletal Imaging<\/a><\/strong>, Noninvasive Cardiovascular Imaging<\/a><\/strong> and Medical Imaging Research<\/a><\/strong>. Our clinical services include all aspects of Diagnostic Imaging and image-guided, minimally invasive Interventional and Diagnostic services.<\/p>\n

Our Department is a leader in research<\/a><\/strong>, consistently ranking as one of the top funded Departments within the School of Medicine.<\/p>\n

Faculty<\/h4>\n

Many of our faculty members are nationally and internationally acknowledged as experts in their subspecialty areas of practice, having made widely recognized contributions to clinical care, the education of trainees, and innovative imaging research. The Department currently consists of 54\u00a0full-time Clinical Faculty<\/a><\/strong>, 14\u00a0Research Faculty<\/a><\/strong>, 40 Residents<\/a><\/strong> and 25 Fellows and Instructors in training. State-of-the-art imaging equipment is available in the main hospital, the Outpatient Cancer Center, and in the Outpatient Diagnostic Imaging Centers at the Fontaine Research Park and the Northridge Transitional Care Facility.<\/p>\n

Education Programs<\/h4>\n

Our faculty members frequently participate as invited speakers at numerous Scientific meetings and conferences and as visiting professors at academic institutions, both nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n

Residencies<\/a><\/h3>
\n

The UVA Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging offers two residency programs: \u00a0A four-year ACGME-accredited program in\u00a0Diagnostic Radiology<\/strong><\/a>\u2014one of the most diverse disciplines in the field of medicine; and a six-year\u00a0Interventional Radiology<\/strong><\/a> (integrated) program. Our residency programs are considered two of the best in the country and admission is highly competitive for the resident positions available each year. There are eight positions available in the diagnostic program; one position is reserved for those interested in a dedicated research training experience. Three positions are available for applicants who want to pursue a career in Vascular and Interventional Radiology (VIR).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Fellowships<\/a><\/h3>
\n

Fellowship training programs are offered in Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology<\/a>, Abdominal Imaging<\/a>, Breast Imaging<\/a>, Musculoskeletal Imaging<\/a>, Vascular and Interventional Radiology<\/a>, Nuclear Medicine<\/a>, and Noninvasive Cardiovascular Imaging<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Medical Students<\/a><\/h3>
\n

Our 4th year Medical Student elective in Diagnostic Radiology<\/a>\u00a0is the most popular elective in our School of Medicine. Our Faculty and Residents are also an integral component of the core curriculum, systems-based education for the first and second year Medical School students.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Research<\/h4>\n

Our Department is a leader in Research<\/a>, consistently ranking as one of the top funded Departments within the School of Medicine.<\/p>\n

Radiology Research<\/a><\/h3>
\n

Our research efforts revolve around magnetic resonance (MR) imaging sequence development, complex image processing, traumatic brain injury<\/a>, hyperpolarized gas imaging<\/a>, focused ultrasound development and clinical applications<\/a>, metabolic imaging of cardiac and peripheral vascular disease<\/a>, the genetics of vascular restenosis and atherosclerosis<\/a>, breast disease, functional brain and stroke imaging<\/a> and device and technology development<\/a>. Our Department has four MR scanners dedicated to research, with dedicated human and animal focused ultrasound units, an onsite cyclotron, and other highly specialized imaging technology (microPET, SPECT CT, MR ClinScan, IVIS bioluminescent scanner, and hyperpolarizer) for animal imaging research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Interdepartmental Research<\/a><\/h3>
\n

Our basic science research encompasses a wide array of projects performed in conjunction with our Cardiovascular Medicine<\/a>, Neurosciences<\/a>, Biomedical Engineering<\/a> and Engineering<\/a> colleagues. Our Department is also actively engaged in numerous clinical trials focusing on breast disease, uterine fibroids, cardiovascular disease (rhythm, structural, congenital and acquired), cancer, stroke, neurodegenerative disorders, endocrine\/metabolic diseases, transplantations, aortic, renovascular and peripheral vascular disease, musculoskeletal disease, and device and technology assessment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
