Research

Research in the Department of Radiology is grouped into basic sciences and clinical. In the basic sciences, there are three main research groups that are involved in specific research areas: Breast Imaging (headed by Etta Pisano, M.D.), MRI research (headed by Weili Lin, Ph.D.), and the Radiology Epidemiology Group (headed by Bonnie Yankaskas, Ph.D.). Each of these groups has a variety of research programs that they are conducting, which are described in further detail at their individual program sites.

Clinical research in the Department is conducted by all the clinical sections. Research is ongoing into Thoracic Diseases (Paul L. Molina, M.D.), Pediatric Diseases (Lynne Fordham, M.D.), Musculoskeletal Diseases (Jordan Renner, M.D.), 3D Computer Rendering of MSK Joints (John Clarke, M.D.), Cardiac Imaging and Cardiac Nuclear Medicine (W. Brian Hyslop, M.D., Ph.D.), PET/CT Imaging (Amir Khandani, Ph.D. and Arif Sheikh, M.D.), Neurological Diseases (Mauricio Castillo, M.D., Keith Smith, M.D., Ph.D., Valerie Jewells, M.D.), Abdominal and Pelvic Genito-urinary CT and MRI (Julia Fielding, M.D.), Ultrasound (Wui Chong, M.D.), Abdominal and Pelvic MRI (Richard Semelka, M.D.) and Gastrointestinal Radiology (David Warshauer, M.D.).

The Vice Chair for Clinical Research is Richard Semelka, M.D., and the Vice Chair for Basic Research is Weili Lin, Ph.D. Interested parties can contact the above described researchers via their assigned departmental assistants.
