About
The Emory Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences is renowned for its scientific accomplishments and strong leadership in translational and basic research including nuclear cardiology, radiopharmaceutical discovery, breast imaging, and functional MRI. Multidisciplinary research teams work in a highly collaborative environment with state-of-the-art resources. The department's research programs are integrated and leverage strategic initiatives of Emory University and the Woodruff Health Sciences Center in neuroscience, transplantation, heart & vascular medicine, and oncology. We have strong relationships with entities across the Emory enterprise including the Yerkes National Primate Research Center and the Department of Biomedical Informatics, as well as with Georgia Tech (Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering), the CDC, many other Georgia-based academic and clinical partners, and industry.
The mission of our Research Track (RT) program is to produce academic radiologists whose careers include a significant component of research. We do this by providing an outstanding clinical education and imaging research experience that promotes skills needed for a career in academic radiology. The goals of the Research Track are fourfold:
- Teach and foster the skills necessary to be a successful academic radiologist;
- Provide an avenue for trainees to develop research skills;
- Advance radiology research and the field of radiology as a whole; and
- Produce well-trained, well-rounded radiologists that can be leaders in research.
Our Research Track residents have seen considerable success thus far. Many have secured external grant funding including RSNA research grants while in residency.
