Yale Diagnostic Radiology

In January 1896, Yale physicist Arthur W. Wright made the first X-ray in the United States, following Roentgen’s discovery in Germany several weeks earlier. More than a century later, diagnostic radiologists at Yale are pushing forward the outer edges of their discipline, using sophisticated techniques in MR, CT, SPECT, PET and ultrasound imaging to diagnose complex disorders and breaking new paths in the further development and application of advanced imaging modalities.

The Diagnostic Radiology faculty include some of the world's most respected scholars in imaging, interventional radiology, and bioimaging sciences:

• the Department ranks 11^th nationally in NIH funding,
• the residency program is rated among the best in the nation
• historically, the Department has been a leader in the field of imaging.

Yale Diagnostic Radiology Grand Rounds tradition is unique to the medical profession with deep historical roots. Today, it provides an opportunity for all practitioners, from the most junior trainee to the most senior diagnostician, to learn and exchange ideas in a common forum. Please join us for our Grand Rounds series of lectures this season.

Our 2008 Fall Calendar gives updated information on speakers, titles and objectives, dates and times for each semi-monthly lecture.

I wish to welcome you to our Web site, dedicated to providing information about our core missions: Patient Care, Education, Research, and Community Service.
