Multidisciplinary focus and close integration between disease-oriented and basic science and technology programs have provided the foundation for success at Penn Radiology. We have maintained a top 5 NIH research funding position among American radiology departments for the past 25 years.

Our research programs cross a wide disciplinary spectrum with considerable strength in:

  • Molecular imaging
  • Biomedical imaging informatics
  • Cancer imaging, particularly breast and animal models, as well as studies at the cellular level
  • Cardiovascular imaging
  • Musculoskeletal imaging
  • Neurofunctional imaging
  • Method development, such as magnetic resonance imaging techniques, imaging agents, image processing, and optical imaging
  • Interventional radiology 

Our radiology research efforts are organized into imaging core facilities, supported by an administrative core, and research labs.
