Radiology training is based primarily at Christiana Hospital, a 780-bed facility located a few miles south of Wilmington, Delaware. Department staff performs over 300,000 examinations annually. An advanced ultrasound department provides endovaginal, endorectal, transcranial and power- and color-doppler imaging capabilities.
Seven high-resolution, spiral CT scanners are currently in use, all with multislice capability. Our Vascular/Interventional Radiology Division performs more than 6,500 studies per year in the Center for Heart & Vascular Health.

Magnetic resonance imaging capabilities include a 1.5 Tesla GE Signa, a 1.5 Tesla Siemens Symphony, a 1.5 Tesla Phillips and two 1.5 Tesla Siemans Advantas, all with magnetic resonance angiography and FSE capability, as well as spectroscopy.
The department is in a transition to all digital imaging with four digital fluoroscopic suites, a digital chest radiography suite, all digital ultrasound and teleradiology. Our Picture Archiving Communications System (PACS) is linked to the new Helen F. Graham Cancer Center.
Faculty
The program offers a particularly favorable faculty/resident ratio. The radiology staff includes 20 full-time and nine part-time radiologists. Of these, four have fellowship training in angiography/interventional radiology, one in CT/US, three in MRI/CT, three in cross-sectional body imaging and eight in neuroradiology. Pediatric radiology services are covered by the pediatric-fellowship-trained staff of the Alfred.I. duPont Hospital for Children. We currently have three staff members who are or have recently been reviewers for major radiological journals: Radiology and The American Journal of Radiology. Faculty members are active in clinical research both within the department and in conjunction with other disciplines.
The independent Department of Nuclear Medicine provides an integrated component of resident education. One full- and two part-time board-certified physicians train radiology residents in the art of nuclear interpretation and therapy.
