Company Profile
University of Maryland, Baltimore
Company Overview
Founded only a few years after the discovery of x-rays, the department was initially a small unit staffed on a part-time basis by physicians who maintained private offices outside the hospital. Although the first half of the century saw incremental gains in staff and scope of activities, it was not until 1954, with the appointment of John M. Dennis, MD, as the permanent chair, that the department began to be recognized for its clinical and academic contributions. Study volume and quality grew quickly thereafter, as did the numbers of faculty, residents, and other trainees. As the hospital grew, the department expanded from the North into the South building and more recently into the Gudelsky and Weinberg buildings. Today, services are also provided at the Baltimore Veterans Affairs Medical Center, UMMC Midtown Campus, UM Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute, Charles Regional Medical Center, and at private offices at University Imaging Center
Company History
The department now includes more than 60 full-time faculty, 40 residents, and 10 fellows. The team works with a state-of-the-art RIS/PACS network that leverages the strength of sub-specialization in academic radiology to provide more than 700,000 diagnostic studies per year for the medical center, medical system, and the community.
A renewed focus on research activities has brought recognition for programs in informatics, MR imaging, molecular medicine, cardiac imaging, image-guided procedures, and forensic imaging. An infrastructure of dedicated research support staff has been added to encourage ongoing grant and funding efforts, both within the department and as part of a growing number of interdisciplinary and cooperative studies. The overall goal remains enhancing capabilities for quality research and education while maintaining and building on a well-deserved reputation for clinical expertise.
