Research in Radiology

The research mission for the Department of Radiology is to develop and apply new imaging biomarkers for various disease processes, facilitate and promote radiology and non-radiology departmental research, train future generations of social scientists, and be innovative in translational research and artificial intelligence (AI) imaging endeavors.

The Center for NMR Research is our core facility supporting clinicians and PhD scientists, and includes our research imaging equipment.

The Division of Radiology Innovation and Value Enhancement (DRIVE) provides data for research and operational projects. DRIVE also provides statistical design and support for the department.

The Core Lab provides analysis of oncology images and anonymization of images for research trials.

The Radiology Imaging Core Lab serves as an interface between investigators and the Department of Radiology.  The Core Lab provides consultation services, feasibility assessments, time response assessments, body fat/sarcopenia analysis, and image anonymization and transfer.

Newly created is the Center for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Imaging Innovation. Our mission is to pioneer machine learning techniques utilizing imaging data to aid clinical decision-making, prevent medical errors, improve operational efficiency, and ultimately enhance patient health outcomes. This center is co-directed by Scott Hwang, MD, and Jonathan Maffie, MD.
