Abdominal Imaging and Intervention
The Abdominal Imaging and Intervention section is composed of subspecialized clinical faculty physicians and research scientists. The clinical faculty are experts in the use of CT, ultrasound, MRI, plain radiographs, and fluoroscopy for diagnosis and intervention in the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. We are actively involved in advancing the research mission of the University of Wisconsin.
Breast Imaging and Intervention
The Breast Imaging and Intervention section, part of the UW Health Breast Center, is a nationally recognized team of radiologists who provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary breast care for patients. The Breast Imaging section is composed of expert faculty with a diverse range of training and research interests.
Cardiovascular Imaging
The Cardiovascular Imaging Section has long provided innovative, advanced clinical care in non-invasive cardiovascular imaging, including cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), cardiac and coronary computed tomography (CCTA), and computed tomography angiography (CTA). The volume of clinical studies has grown continuously and we now perform over 5000 non-invasive cardiovascular CT and MR studies each year. The members of our section are very active and renowned locally, nationally, and internationally with over 550 peer-reviewed publications, 30 book chapters, 1200 scientific presentations, and 50 patents.
Clinical Imaging Physics
The Clinical Imaging Physics section supports the department’s clinical mission by providing technical expertise and coordinating physics resources. Section members partner with modality chiefs to provide well-rounded perspectives in problem solving.
Community Radiology
The Community Section consists of over 25 board-certified, subspecialty trained radiologists. This diverse group of radiologists combines expertise in angio-interventional radiology, cardiothoracic imaging, computed tomography, body imaging, breast imaging, musculoskeletal imaging and intervention, magnetic resonance imaging, neuroimaging, nuclear medicine, pediatric radiology and ultrasound in community hospital and outpatient clinic settings.
Emergency Radiology
Faculty in the Section of Emergency Radiology focus on reading images that come through the Department of Emergency Medicine during evening hours. In addition, the faculty support trainees reading during the evening.
Imaging Sciences
The Imaging Sciences section is comprised of faculty and academic staff scientists who conduct research in a variety of areas, including MRI, CT, x-ray, nuclear medicine, and ultrasound imaging; contrast agent development; and ablation technique development. All section members have offices, lab space, and access to state-of-the-art research equipment and resources in the Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research (WIMR) facility. In addition to conducting research, members of the Imaging Sciences section provide technical support for the imaging modalities within the department.
Informatics
Members of the Informatics Section play key roles in pursuing informatics initiatives that focus on three pillars: technology (efficient and accessible tools for data discovery and delivery), process (processes that are innovative and compliant with security and privacy requirements), and people (communication and effective change management). By coordinating industry partnerships with companies like GE, Change Healthcare, Aidoc, GE, and Microsoft, members ensure that UW researchers have access to cutting-edge technology that is effectively implemented.
Interventional Radiology
The Interventional Radiology section is committed to providing the finest diagnostic and therapeutic radiology services for University Hospital patients. As part of this commitment, the department is actively involved in research into new diagnostic and treatment modalities, including clinical research projects in most areas of imaging.
Musculoskeletal Imaging and Intervention
The Musculoskeletal Imaging and Intervention section provides imaging interpretation and imaging-guided intervention of the spine and extremities. The section is composed of internationally renowned experts in all modalities used to image the spine and joints, and skilled professionals in injections to treat back and neck pain. The Musculoskeletal Imaging and Intervention Section also provides rapid, expert confidential consultation of spine, joint and extremity imaging and interventional cases, including complex sports medicine imaging.
Neuroradiology
The Neuroradiology Section offers comprehensive diagnostic imaging of the brain, the spine and spinal cord, and of the head and neck region, using radiography and fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Myelography and angiographic procedures are performed on both an inpatient and an outpatient basis. State-of-the-art imaging techniques and new research developments include echo planar techniques, perfusion/diffusion imaging, and PET-CT scan. Non-invasive MR and CT angiography and other three-dimensional imaging techniques are routinely performed. Interventional neuroradiologic diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are offered, including percutaneous biopsy of head and neck tumors, intra-arterial chemotherapy, and preoperative embolization of tumors and vascular malformations of the head and neck.
Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging
The Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging section provides image interpretation of a wide range of nuclear medicine procedures including positron emission tomography (PET) examinations.
The section is composed of experts in multiple areas including general nuclear medicine and PET imaging, theranostics, nuclear cardiology, and the imaging and treatment of patients with thyroid cancer. Therapies in patients with various forms of cancer are routinely performed with unsealed sources such as radioactive iodine and labeled antibodies. The section has state-of-the-art imaging equipment including PET/CT and SPECT/CT.
Pediatric Radiology
The Pediatric Radiology section is a rapidly growing and lively section. Pediatric radiologists at UW enjoy a practice that spans all imaging modalities. Teleradiology and outreach programs allow us to participate in the imaging of children at hospitals and imaging centers throughout Madison and across southern and central Wisconsin. Despite our numbers the section is a large contributor to resident and medical student education, research, and charitable and social causes in the Department of Radiology. The section is closely affiliated with the American Family Children’s Hospital and is dedicated to supporting AFCH’s excellent subspecialty pediatric physicians and their patients.
Thoracic Imaging
The Thoracic Imaging section forms an integral part of the clinical mission of University Hospital. From the Intensive Care Unit (Trauma and Life Support Center (TLC)) to outpatient pulmonary medicine, this section is part of the clinical care team in helping to appropriately image and assist in treatment decisions for a host of cardiopulmonary diseases.
Our Thoracic Imaging radiologists are participating in the forefront of all cardiothoracic imaging modalities. This section is a large contributor to fellow, resident, and medical student education, and research in the Department of Radiology. The Thoracic Imaging Section is fortunate to have many individuals with national reputations. We feel privileged to be able to assist all of our patients and referring physicians with their thoracic imaging needs.
