About the Department of Radiology:

The Department of Radiology includes 69 staff physicians, 22 PhD researchers, 27 fellows, and 36 residents. The Radiology enterprise expands across four campuses throughout the Iowa City corridor. We also serve Stead Family Children's Hospital located at the Medical Center University campus, as well as several UI urgent cares, clinics, and additional affiliates. Our enterprise operates 12 clinical CT scanners including two Alpha photon-counting scanners , 14 clinical MR scanners including four 3T machines, and the first Siemens Free.Max MR to be housed in an Emergency Department in the United States. The Department of Radiology received the Siemens Biograph One PET/MR scanner on September 23, 2025. The department noted it was only the second site in the U.S. to receive the state-of-the-art device, which combines high-sensitivity PET and 3T MRI technology. This new technology will be used to enhance clinical patient care and open new research opportunities, particularly in oncology and neurology.

The Department of Radiology plays an integral role in the Iowa Institute of Biomedical Imaging (IIBI), a collaboration of nearly 100 faculty and staff within the colleges of Engineering, Medicine, and Liberal Arts (https://www.iibi.uiowa.edu). The facility includes 3T, 3T head only and 7T research scanners.

The Department of Radiology consistently ranks highly in the Blue Ridge Institute NIH rankings, having received over $10 million in NIH funding last year. We host nine research labs and have 37 active phase I and phase II clinical trials.

University of Iowa Health Care is Iowa's only comprehensive academic health system, nationally recognized for excellence in patient care, research, and education. Anchored by an 800-bed medical center, UI Health Care delivers high-quality care through more than 1.3 million outpatient visits annually and continues to expand its reach with new facilities and clinical programs.
