About Us

The Department of Radiological Sciences at UC Irvine’s School of Medicine is dedicated to conducting leading-edge biomedical imaging research, providing the highest quality education, and delivering state-of-the-art care to our patients. The department performs approximately 400,000 radiological exams per year through the utilization of all imaging modalities which include conventional radiography, angiography and image-guided therapies, ultrasonography, CT, MRI, 3D tomosynthesis, nuclear medicine and molecular imagimg.

Mission and Strategy

• To provide high-quality and cutting-edge radiology services, thus ensuring the best clinical care to patients.
• To provide top-notch and state-of-the-art training to the next generation of radiology residents, fellows, technologists and healthcare professionals in a dynamic environment.
• To support research programs in basic sciences and clinical radiological research, thereby contributing to the understanding of disease.

Groundbreaking Research

The doctors of the Department of Radiological Sciences are a combination of physician, scientist and UC faculty member; all are committed to providing the highest quality and most advanced patient care available. The unique educational and research environment of the UC Irvine School of Medicine and UC Irvine Medical Center allows us to foster groundbreaking biomedical imaging research with the potential to significantly improve diagnostic imaging and lifesaving interventional radiologic procedures.

Clinical Service

The department offers state of the art imaging services including digital radiography, 3D mammography, ultrasonography, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, as well as image-guided therapies. With access to some of the most advanced technology available, including PET/CT, high-field MRI, digital mammography and state-of-the-art interventional radiology suites, UC Irvine’s radiologists diagnose and treat a variety of conditions, including liver and kidney tumors, uterine fibroids, and stroke.

Our radiologists are subspecialized, possessing advanced expertise in specialties such as molecular imaging, musculoskeletal imaging and breast imaging. Such specialized knowledge results in better and more effective patient care. Thus, our department is frequently called upon to provide specialty interpretations for imaging centers throughout California. 

Dedicated to Education 

Along with providing outstanding patient care, the Department of Radiological Sciences is dedicated to educating current and future radiologists in the newest technologies and medical techniques. Our vast collection of books and teaching files, in combination with our lectures and facilities, act as vital tools for advanced education in radiology. We have highly experienced faculty members who will take a personal interest and devote their time to teaching. As a result, the department has trained nearly 300 board-certified radiologists, many of whom have gone on to leadership positions at other hospitals. 

At the Forefront 

Our department scientists and physicians are constantly working to develop new technologies and imaging techniques that will become the medical imaging examinations and medical interventions of tomorrow. 

With its emphasis on thorough, compassionate healthcare, advanced technology, in-depth teaching and leading-edge research, UC Irvine’s Department of Radiological Sciences is at the forefront of medical care.
