About Us
The Department of Imaging at the University of Rochester Medical Center encompasses outstanding education, research, and clinical excellence in a leading academic health sciences institution. Our faculty are nationally recognized authorities in their respective fields. Our clinical programs are primarily conducted at the University of Rochester Medical Center at Strong Memorial Hospital. This tertiary care center houses Strong Children’s Hospital, the University of Rochester Cancer Center, a Level I Trauma Center, and specialized referral services. We provide additional services at Highland Hospital, a Strong Memorial affiliate, and two outpatient facilities: University Medical Imaging and our PET-CT Center at Science Park. Ambulatory sites throughout the community and remote sites in the area are accessible by teleradiology.
The Department of Imaging is composed of three hospitals and several outpatient imaging centers providing digital and computed radiography, digital fluoroscopy, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, CT, MR, and angiography services. We currently operate CT scanners (16, 32, 64, and 128 slice), MRI machines (1.5 and 3 Tesla magnets), and a PET-CT scanner and the region's only PET-MRI scanner.
