The department offers subspecialty experience in its established divisions of neuroradiology, including neurointerventional, breast imaging, chest radiology, pediatric radiology, musculoskeletal radiology, nuclear medicine, vascular and interventional radiology, and body imaging, including MRI, CT and ultrasound. Advanced imaging includes CT/MR angiography, cardiac CT/MR, Breast MR, virtual colonoscopy/bronchoscopy and 3D imaging.

Curriculum
The curriculum takes an organ-system approach in an attempt to develop clinically oriented radiology physicians who are able to skillfully utilize the numerous imaging modalities available in the search for definitive diagnosis.

The First year
There is an emphasis on normal anatomy, anatomic variants and emergency imaging. The goal is to train the resident to recognize the presence of an abnormality versus a normal study.

Second year
All disorders-congenital, iatrongenic, traumatice, neoplastic, etc.-are studied. There is an emphasis on differential diagnosis. The goal is to train the resident to make specific diagnoses in addition to recognizing any abnormalities in the study.

Third year
The resident is encouraged to consider the imaging work-up of a particular clinical situation and is expected to be increasingly involved with the clinical staff as a consultant.

Fourth year
The senior resident is expected to function as a leader for each division rotation, incorporating all the skills obtained during the prior three years of training. Senior residents will also assist in the teaching of junior residents and medical students.

Conferences
There are daily radiology conferences and numerous interdepartmental conferences held with the pathology, pulmonary, GU, GI and pediatric services. Surgical Morbidity and Mortality and Tumor Board meetings occur weekly. In addition, a core reading list is established for each division rotation including text and journal articles.
