The Department of Medical Imaging is committed to providing tailored service to each patient, minimizing radiation doses and using cutting-edge technology in order to eliminate delays. The department promotes and supports institution-wide research efforts by scientists in many disciplines. It does this by supplying the state-of-the-art imaging and interpretation required for research studies. The Medical Imaging Research Committee reviews and catalogs all research proposals involving imaging, including those projects internal to the department as well as those by investigators in other departments. There are currently many active research studies that involve imaging, several of these originating from Medical Imaging. Faculty members present many papers, posters, and lectures at a variety of scientific meetings.

Children’s Memorial was among the first children’s hospitals to develop a robust pediatric interventional radiology program, bringing to pediatrics procedures routinely done in adults. In 2010, over 7,000 IR procedures were performed at Children’s Memorial, including complex ones previously unavailable for children. Because of many factors, the growth of IR in children lagged behind that of adult IR. However, currently there are many situations in which IR can complement or replace an open surgical procedure with a less invasive one. IR provides support for many medical and surgical programs, and with continued innovation and adaptation of procedures to children, helps raise the quality of care provided to pediatric patients.
