Radiology is fortunate to have a long tradition of excellence and leadership in its clinical and academic activities.

Our classic three-part mission-- to excel in the performance of patient care, research, and teaching--has been a departmental cornerstone for the past 50 years.

Our vision and goal is to become and remain the best all-around academic radiology department in the country.

To accomplish this goal and pursue our mission, we value innovation, creativity, and leadership. We see ourselves as a center for the development of new knowledge, new technologies, and new approaches to patient care. We use modern information technology as a critical tool in these pursuits. We strive to train the future leaders of the academic radiology community.

Improving the health of the patients in our community, providing services to referring physicians, and optimizing the well being of our departmental staff are our top priorities.

The Future

"We aspire to build a premier academic health center, designed from the ground up for health and healing in the 21st century. Our unique opportunity is to become an unparalleled center of learning and discovery, community and care: the destination of choice for those seeking, practicing, learning, and pioneering health care at its best."
