100 Years of Achievements
For more than one hundred years, Stanford’s Department of Radiology has been making contributions to medical and surgical advances by pioneering innovations in image-based research, patient care, and education. Since 1904, our work has made a difference in the lives of patients and their families by

• • Advancing imaging to cure Hodgkin’s disease;
  
• • Developing CT angiography;
  
• • Pioneering advances in MRI and CT scanners;
  
• • Creating one of the world’s leading molecular imaging programs;
  
• • Cultivating innovative 3D imaging techniques to support more accurate diagnoses and improve the ability to communicate exam results to referring physicians and patients.

We continue to make imaging breakthroughs. Our researchers have initiated 115 patents over the past 5 years. Their work has enabled Stanford Radiology to be among the world’s leaders in creating platforms for CT and MRI technologies. Among U.S. medical schools, we now rank as the third highest NIH-funded radiology department and have three NIH-funded Centers of Excellence:

• • National Center for Advanced Magnetic Resonance Technology (CAMRT);
• • In Vivo Cellular and Molecular Imaging Center at Stanford (ICMIC);
• • Center for Cancer Nanotechnology and Excellence Focused on Therapy Response (CCNE-TR).

Unparalleled Imaging Services and Subspecialty Expertise
We are committed to providing outstanding care, utilizing state-of-the-art technology, and offering the subspecialty expertise of Stanford’s world-renowned Department of Radiology. Our team of medical professionals conducts more than a quarter of a million studies each year, maintaining the highest standards of clinical excellence provided in a compassionate, caring environment. We continue to build our clinical imaging enterprise through the opening of two outpatient imaging centers: Stanford Medicine Imaging Center, Palo Alto, and Stanford Medicine Imaging, Redwood City.

Excellence in Medical Education
Because of our international reputation, we attract the best and the brightest students, residents, and fellows. In addition to our innovative curriculum for medical students, we offer medical imaging programs at the graduate level; visiting fellowships in all subspecialties; and NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowships through our Advanced Techniques for Cancer Imaging and Detection Program and Stanford Molecular Imaging Scholars (SMIS) Program. Our outstanding reputation is further reflected in our continuing education courses whose enrollment has grown exponentially each year.
