The Emory Department of Radiology serves the community through advanced innovation, translational research and clinical application of imaging sciences. The department is committed to excellence in scholarship and to the training of the next generation of radiologists, technologists, and imaging scientists. The department's goal is to provide the highest quality patient care with predictive, diagnostic and therapeutic imaging-based approaches.
Emory Radiology will be viewed by patients, trainees and scientists as a destination department for its internationally recognized leadership in Imaging sciences and clinical applications.
Welcome to the Emory Department of Radiology!
Emory has enjoyed a long-standing tradition of excellence in clinical programs, a passion for teaching, and strength in innovative imaging research. Yet this is a time of unprecedented growth in all of our three missions, and integration with the Emory Vision 2012 initiatives in Predictive Health, Neuroscience, Transplantation, Heart and Vascular Disease, and Cancer. Our clinical divisions focus on delivering the highest level of subspecialty care and include Abdominal Imaging, Neuroradiology, Neurointerventional Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Musculoskeletal Imaging, Emergency Radiology, the Breast Imaging Center, Vascular Interventional Radiology, Cardiothoracic Radiology, and Pediatric Imaging. Our Division of Community Radiology offers radiology services at inpatient and outpatient settings outside of the primary Emory facilities. Our clinical growth has been guided heavily by ongoing efforts to establish and implement practice quality improvement principles.
In the research arena, Emory Radiology maintains six investigative divisions that emphasize basic and translational work in PET Radiopharmaceutical Discovery, Physics and Computing, Medical Physics and Engineering, Nuclear Cardiology R&D, MR Research, and Radioligand and Expert System. The new Emory Center for Systems Imaging (CSI) is an institution-wide interdisciplinary and multimodal research facility housing, among other state-of-the-art equipment, one of the first two prototype combined MR/PET scanners to be installed in the U.S.
Our teaching programs (link to Educational Programs) include over 55 diagnostic radiology residents, over 25 fellows, and active participation in medical student teaching. A new medical school building supports innovative simulation lab and the greater incorporation of imaging into medical student education.
Located in the vibrant metropolitan city of Atlanta, Emory University has many regional advantages including its close proximity to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Cancer Society, and Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). Notably, Emory and Georgia Tech share many programs including a top-ranked joint Department of Bioengineering and nanomedicine initiative. At 1000-foot elevation, the residents of Atlanta enjoy a wonderful climate.
