Radiology and Imaging Sciences research is a fantastic place for undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs to gain practical experience for their careers. In imaging sciences, many fields come together: math, physics, computer science, engineering, and medicine. There are endless possibilities for research projects, all of which have a practical goal of improving medical science.

Many of our labs are looking for motivated students at all levels! If you are pursuing Bioengineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, math, physics, or a related field, we'd love to hear from you. Contact lab heads directly by browsing through our research lab pages.

Michael Malmberg, Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. Candidate, has published a recent paper Validation of single reference variable flip angle (SR‐VFA) dynamic T1 mapping with T2* correction using a novel rotating phantom - Malmberg - Magnetic Resonance in Medicine - Wiley Online Library
Congratulations to Emma Slominski (Dennis Parker trainee), whose recent paper was featured as Editor's Choice in the Journal of Medical Physics. Other authors on the paper include Josh Marchant and faculty Henrik Odeen, Viola Rieke, Doug Christensen, and Dennis Parker. Kudos to Qi Huang (Ed DiBella trainee), whose paper, "Technical note: Accuracy and precision of T2 and T2* with a gradient-echo spin-echo (GESE) sequence for cardiac imaging," was published online in the Journal of Medical Physics.

What's in like being a trainee with us?

One of the best things about being a trainee in Radiology and Imaging Sciences is the type of work we do and the opportunities available to you. Read our profile of a graduate student named Lorne Hofstetter to understand what we mean.
