The Department of Radiology includes our clinical and research divisions with 57 clinical faculty (full and voluntary) and 13 PhD’s. Our mission is a commitment to excellence in medical imaging, quality and safety, patient care, education and research.
The Department of Radiology provides 24/7 coverage for the 4 hospitals within our health system as well as 3 state-of-the-art outpatient imaging centers in Commack, Stony Brook and Riverhead. In addition, we offer x-ray services in the Stony Brook Medicine’s Advanced Specialty Care at Lake Grove facility, Interventional Radiological services at the Northport Veterans Administration Medical Center and imaging in the East Hampton ED and Commack advanced immediate care facility scheduled to open in 2025. The department at SBUH and our imaging centers are equipped with state-of-the-art imaging technology, including AI capabilities, to ensure the highest standard of care with fellowship trained radiologists in the subspecialties of emergency radiology, neuroradiology including head/neck and spine, musculoskeletal imaging and intervention, body imaging, ultrasound, pediatric, thoracic, cardiac, nuclear medicine including molecular imaging, breast imaging and interventional radiology.
Our interventional radiology section provides a comprehensive Y- 90 cancer treatment program encompassing precision medicine in conjunction with our nuclear medicine physicians and medical physicists. Our nuclear medicine section specializes in molecular imaging.
Residency & Mentorship Program
We have a well-established ACGME- accredited residency in diagnostic radiology as well as a Breast imaging fellowship and ACGME accredited fellowship in musculoskeletal imaging and neuroradiology. The department also has an accredited residency in medical physics as well as a certificate program in imaging informatics in conjunction with the Department of Medical Informatics available to our radiology residents. We have an established mentorship program for residents and fellows.
The third-year medical students have a 2-week rotation in Radiology, which includes daily lectures that address basic image interpretation and an algorithmic approach for the selection of imaging studies. In addition, the student completes a series of programmed learning seminars and teaching files, which review principles of image interpretation. There is extensive exposure to many of the subspecialty areas with observation of procedures and participation in film review sessions with faculty and residents.
A fourth-year medical student elective is also offered with the availability to concentrate in selected subspecialties.
Our internationally recognized researchers are at the forefront of cutting-edge advancements in CT, MRI, molecular imaging, mammography, and medical imaging instrumentation. Their work not only pushes the boundaries of medical imaging technologies but also plays a crucial role in shaping the future of healthcare. Beyond their groundbreaking research, they are deeply committed to the academic and professional development of the next generation. By actively mentoring and educating undergraduate and graduate students, medical students, postdoctoral fellows, and residents, they foster a dynamic learning environment that encourages innovation, collaboration, and excellence in medical imaging research.
