Research
Throughout its history, the Department of Radiology has worked continuously to develop the infrastructure necessary to expand our interdisciplinary research efforts in anatomic imaging, instrumentation development, molecular imaging, nanotechnology, information sciences, systems biology, and interventional therapeutic advances. Coupling this rich biomedical imaging foundation with our research, we are able to introduce leading-edge imaging solutions and technology to other research communities and into clinical practice.
Our Department is made up of three primary Research Sections with each providing specific areas of focus but all collaborating in a highly interdisciplinary environment. These three Sections are:
- Radiological Sciences Laboratory (RSL) (established 1990)
- Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS) (established 2003)
- Information Sciences in Imaging at Stanford (ISIS) (established 2008)
