The Department of Medical Imaging at the University of Toronto is the largest Medical Imaging department in Canada. The department's major objectives are to achieve and maintain excellence in patient care, teaching, and research in the fields of Medical Imaging and imaging related procedures. The department has 150 full-time faculty members based in six teaching hospitals: Mount Sinai Hospital, St. Michael's Hospital, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, The Hospital for Sick Children, the University Health Network (Toronto General Hospital, Toronto Western Hospital and Princess Margaret Hospital), and Women's College Hospital. We have eight subspecialty divisions: abdominal imaging, breast imaging, cardiothoracic imaging, musculoskeletal imaging, neuroradiology, nuclear medicine, paediatric imaging, and vascular & interventional radiology. The department is further organized into two Royal College of Canada certified and accredited educational programs: Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, and an additional two accredited subspecialty Royal College programs: Neuroradiology and Paediatric Radiology.
The department has four levels of organized educational programs: undergraduate (medical student), postgraduate (residency), fellowship (subspecialty) and continuing medical education (CME). We have a comprehensive teaching program in the residency program with a full series of formal lectures in clinical imaging, imaging physics, epidemiology, and research methodology. This is supplemented daily by individual teaching of trainees by our entire faculty. We are extremely proud of our excellent educational programs. Many members of the department participate in research on the University campus or at the affiliated teaching hospitals. Our research program focuses on clinically applied and translational research related to Medical Imaging. Research activities are integrated into our Residency and Fellowship training programs. Our research productivity, as measured by the number and size of grants, and number of scientific publications, has increased steadily over the past decade. We have been very fortunate to have been the recipients of several large government grants which have enabled us to install an excellent imaging research infrastructure.
Teaching is the focus and strength of our academic activities. We have a comprehensive teaching program with a full series of formal lectures in clinical imaging, imaging physics, epidemiology, and research methodology. This is supplemented daily by individual teaching of trainees by all our faculty. We honour our best teacher, as selected by our residents and fellows, with the annual E.L. Lansdown Award.
