Recent advances in imaging technology, image-guided therapies, and informatics are revolutionizing clinical care standards. They are improving patient lives every day. At the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, our Department of Diagnostic, Molecular, and Interventional Radiology embraces the discoveries driving these advances, and prides itself on rapidly translating them into improved patient outcomes. Every clinical, investigative, and educational endeavor we undertake is distinguished by our collective commitment to excellence.

The Department’s mission is to deliver exceptional clinical care while fostering superior standards in teaching and research. Throughout these efforts, our primary focus is to provide accurate, innovative, and timely reporting on imaging exams for patients. Our specialists offer high-level interpretation of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emissions tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT), radiography, ultrasound, and fluoroscopy, as well as vascular and nonvascular interventional procedures.

The Department’s advanced imaging facility, the Mount Sinai Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Institute, houses 3T and 7T MRI systems, a PET-MRI instrument, spectral CT, and preclinical 7T and 9.4T MRI systems. As the nexus for many of our research programs, the Institute supports investigation in cardiovascular disease, central nervous system disorders and advanced neuroanatomy, functional MRI, head and neck cancer characterization, cancer screening and early detection, liver disease imaging, and PET imaging in oncology, interventional radiology, and information technology connectivity.

Our approach to training is collaborative and immersive. Our residents and fellows learn alongside Mount Sinai Health System’s imaging experts, and work closely with surgeons, oncologists, and other caregivers to optimize patient treatment. Typically, our radiologists-in-training complete four years of residency and a fifth year of fellowship in a specialized area of radiology. These specialty areas include neuroradiology, interventional radiology, body imaging, chest imaging, musculoskeletal radiology, breast imaging, pediatric imaging, and nuclear medicine.

The Department’s contributions to structural and physiologic imaging are now being further propelled by informatics and artificial intelligence. Mount Sinai Health System radiologists regularly leverage our advances to enable earlier detection of disease, enhanced disease characterization, and novel image-guided interventions. Moreover, we are developing, testing, and implementing an array of tools to improve the experience of patients, referring physicians, and our own team.
