Since the first X-ray in 1895, radiology has become essential to health care. For over 75 years, the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences at Indiana University School of Medicine has been at the forefront, empathizing with patients, refining diagnoses, and advancing preventative treatments. But before life-saving diagnoses are made, research innovations are crucial to elevate standards of care and enhance imaging technology. From breakthroughs in interventional radiology to pioneering discoveries in PSMA PET imaging, radiology remains a cornerstone of modern medicine.

The future in research innovation
The IU School of Medicine recognizes the significance that research plays in the world of health care. The school recently broke ground on a new 326,000 square foot building for departments like Radiology and Imaging Sciences to thrive in our research efforts. The building will give plenty of room for exploratory research in areas like Alzheimer's disease, cancer, diabetes and more. While our federal research support has grown over the years, physical space has not. The future eight story research tower will provide faculty with room for collaboration and innovation.

Advocating for those left behind in research
When it comes to academic research, credit for the effort nearly always goes to an MD, PhD or RN. However, rarely do stories or news releases bring to light the empowering work and contributions that staff and members of the community make within the world of research.
