About the Department:

Radiology & Diagnostic Imaging in the University of Alberta is based at the University of Alberta Hospital and the Stollery Children's Hospital. All major hospitals in the region are involved: the Royal Alexandra Hospital, Grey Nuns Hospital, Sturgeon General Hospital, Misericordia Hospital and the Cross Cancer Institute.

Edmonton is home to active clinical programs in all fields of medicine including quaternary care facilities offering organ transplantation and complex neonatal heart surgery. The Capital Health region is in the process of introducing a fully integrated PACS-RIS digital imaging environment and modalities including 64- slice CT scanners, PET-CT, functional MRI and facilities for advanced radiological interventional procedures. The large catchment area results in a broad range of clinical experience for Staff and Residents.

The department offers world-class residency training programs in Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine. Residents join a program that is well established, highly successful and which offers a highly stimulating but welcoming environment. Fellowship programs are offered in some specialties in Diagnostic Radiology.

The department also offers Master of Science and PhD degrees in a variety of radiology related fields through the Medical Sciences Graduate Program of the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry. Additional information about graduate programs is available on the University of Alberta Calendar.

The department is also dedicated to medical student education and offers electives in both Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine. Please refer to the Electives catalogue for more information.

Radiography, Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Technologist Training Programs are available through NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) and SAIT (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology).

Faculty, residents and graduate students conduct a range of research projects both in clinical radiology and in basic science. Students and residents are mentored in the production of peer reviewed publications.
