Departmental Focus
Radiological Sciences is a department dedicated to clinical investigation and patient care in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood cancer and related diseases. The divisions of Radiation Oncology, Diagnostic Imaging, Nuclear Medicine/Molecular Imaging, and Translational Imaging Research focus on applying novel, sophisticated technologies to study optimizing radiation therapy for children with cancer, diagnostic techniques (including X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, and CT) and interventional radiology in children with catastrophic diseases, diagnostic and therapeutic applications of radiopharmaceuticals (nuclear scans) and development of new ways to image molecular (subcellular) targets, and means to optimize imaging capabilities (including improved diagnostic techniques in brain and body MR imaging), respectively.
