The Radiology department at the UWMC is home to some of the most outstanding radiology research groups in the world. These centers consist of small and large multi-disciplinary groups of researchers that collaborate with internal and external medical, biological, engineering, and physics researchers, as well as industrial partners. In addition, the Department has close collaborations with many other strong academic departments, such as Bioengineering.

The MR Research Lab is part of the Diagnostic Imaging Sciences Center (DISC) in the Department of Radiology at the University of Washington Medical Center. As a site for research development as well as for teaching, the core membership of the lab is composed of academic and research faculty, imaging physicists, research technicians, and senior fellows. It provides training and technical support to investigators interested in designing and conducting structural and functional neuroimaging studies. Phone: 206-685-3530 |

Physics and engineering research in the Imaging Research Laboratory group is clustered around two main topics: Developing a small animal PET imaging system optimized to image mice and improving the imaging capabilities for clinical PET and PET/CT scanners for humans. In addition we provide simulation and imaging software tools. |

The Vascular Imaging Lab at the University of Washington is comprised of a team of scientists and physicians from the Departments of Radiology, Vascular Surgery, Pathology, Cardiology and Bioengineering. The primary goal of this group is to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify the vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque. Vulnerable plaques are cholesterol-rich atherosclerotic lesions that are prone to plaque disruption or rupture, and thereby pose an increased risk for stroke or heart attack. |
