Radiology Degrees Online

Established in 1997, the Residency Program in Diagnostic Radiology is a four year program that trains clinical specialists, with a combined program of classroom and clinical and diagnostic experience. Between November 2001 and October 2005, the program has trained 22 residents.

Main Subjects: anatomy, physiology, pathology, internal medicine, general and specialized surgery, forensic medicine, physics, radiobiology, radiation protection, contrast media, computer applications, imaging modalities (conventional radiology, digital radiology; ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, angiography), breast imaging, cardiac imaging, emergency radiology, gastro-intestinal imaging, genito-urinary imaging, head and neck imaging, molecular imaging, musculoskeletal imaging, neuroradiology, pediatric imaging, thoracic imaging, vascular imaging, interventional radiology (vascular and extra-vascular).

Diagnostic radiology is that branch of clinical medicine that specializes in the interpretation of various imaging modalities in order to detect, to characterize, and (with increasing frequency) to treat a wide variety of diseases. Historically, x-rays were the first energy source utilized for these purposes, and they continue to be a mainstay of this discipline. More recently, the armamentarium has grown to include ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and positron-emission tomography. In nuclear medicine, one of radiology’s major subspecialties, radionuclides are employed for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Another subspecialty is interventional radiology, wherein aspirations and biopsies, as well as therapeutic procedures such as abscess drainage, tumor embolization, and vascular stents are performed percutaneously.

The Department of Radiology consists of two clinical divisions: diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine. Both divisions are ably supported by technologists and faculty members in the field of radiation physics. Instruction in radiology is provided for medical students, residents, and fellows as well as for other physicians. The faculty and its teaching and research activities are represented in each of the hospitals affiliated with the University.
