The Department of Radiology is in the College of Medicine.

The department consists of the division of Diagnostic Radiology and the division of Nuclear Medicine.  Diagnostic Radiology is that branch of radiology which deals with the utilization of all modalities of medical imaging and therapeutic procedures using imaging guidance.  This includes techniques and methodologies utilizing x-rays, ultrasound and nuclear magnetic resonance.  Nuclear Medicine is that branch of radiology which involves the use of radionuclides and radiolabeled substances for diagnostic imaging and related in vivo techniques.  Both basic imaging physics and clinical radiological principles and techniques are featured in medical student, resident, and graduate student teaching.  A broad background is provided so that students can apply this knowledge regardless of the career field chosen.  For medical students, there is also instruction on the appropriate ordering of image studies.

Research opportunities are available in the Imaging and NMR laboratories, Nuclear Medicine, the Vascular and Interventional laboratories, and in adult and pediatric Diagnostic Radiology.
