Patients receive the latest in high-quality diagnostic and treatment imaging services at Jefferson's Radiology Department. Our facilities include state-of-the-art equipment and are staffed by skilled technologists and nurses. Jefferson radiologists perform and interpret nearly half a million examinations per year. Today the Jefferson Department of Radiology is recognized as one of the premier departments in the country based on clinical expertise, academic productivity and excellence in educational programs.

In order to achieve the highest levels of diagnosis and interpretation, the Department is divided into nine divisions, based on either anatomic system or imaging modality. Each division has a director who is responsible for the quality of examinations and workflow within their area. Divisions function as a group to provide expertise in all imaging modalities and techniques, and the highest possible quality of medical care.

Our services include:

  • Abdominal Imaging
  • Breast Imaging
  • Cardiothoracic Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Musculoskeletal Imaging
  • Neuroradiology/Head & Neck Imaging
  • Nuclear Medicine/Molecular Imaging
  • Ultrasound

Members of each division work closely with their clinical counterparts in the Surgery and Medicine Departments. Joint conferences are common, in addition to daily consultations, regarding particular patients or problems.

Jefferson's Radiology Department has both full- and part-time radiologists, many of whom are nationally and internationally recognized as experts in their fields. Our physicians are committed to excellence in the practice and teaching of radiology, and to using diagnostic imaging and imaging-guided procedures to promote the highest quality of patient care.
