Research
The goals of the research initiatives in the department of Radiology at NYU, led by Robert I. Grossman, M.D., Chairman, are to apply new and innovative technologies to challenging clinical problems in order to improve patient health. The departments fast growing research program headed by Vivian Lee MD, Ph.D., Vice Chair of Research, currently ranks 9th among academic radiology departments nationwide in terms of NIH funding. The staff consists of 16 full-time research scientists, who are assisted by numerous support scientists, research associates, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, research residents, and administrative personnel.
The centerpiece of the Department’s research effort is the Center for Biomedical Imaging, whose goals are to discover new uses for high-field MR and high-speed CT, prepare future leaders in biomedical imaging research, and develop new frontiers in radiology.
Our research program is among the best-equipped in the nation and includes a 7-tesla whole-body MRI, two 3-tesla whole-body MRIs, a 64-slice CT, an MR coil laboratory, nuclear medicine research facilities, and an image-processing laboratory.
The Department of Radiology conducts collaborative programs with departments throughout NYU School of Medicine and New York University’s Washington Square campus, including the Departments of Chemistry and Physics and the Courant Institute. In addition, the Department serves as a research resource for numerous clinical trials and the General Clinical Research Center at NYU Medical Center.
The Research Division of NYU Department of Radiology welcomes collaboration with all industry sponsors.
Principle industry partners include: Siemens, GE/Amersham, EZM, Berlex, and Teva Pharmaceuticals.
Additionally, we support ancillary imaging components as part of hundreds of intra and extramural clinical trials.
