Research Activities
Scholarly activities within the department have resulted in more than 10 papers at a published or accepted for publication in 2006-2007. Faculty members in the interventional radiology and mammography sections have regularly scheduled research time. Radiology residents are allotted a 4-week rotation in research during which time they are encouraged to participate in projects leading to presentations and publications. Additional time for research is also available on an elective basis. Dr. George Hartnell serves as the institutional principal investigator in two grant supported research projects in interventional radiology regarding renal artery stenting for renal vascular disease (CORAL-sponsored by NIH) and carotid artery stenting (CAPTURE- sponsored by Guidant Corporation).
