A Message from the Chair
Our subspecialist diagnostic and interventional radiologists are essential to our multidisciplinary team approach to patient care at UCI. As the only academic radiology department in Orange County, UCI Radiology continues to innovate and excel in medical imaging research and clinical care. We believe that artificial intelligence (AI) is an essential component of radiology and it will enhance patient care by improving image acquisition and diagnosis.
In this newsletter, we explore how our nationally-renowned faculty are designing and applying AI algorithms to stroke research to improve patient outcomes. We also highlight some of the advanced services in cancer diagnosis and treatment, cardiac valvular disease and musculoskeletal imaging that are being offered at UCI Radiology. Although a pandemic is expected to bring things to a halt, our Radiology Team works harder than ever and remains focused on bringing state of the art medical imaging to our patients.
