Message from the Chair

We are pleased you have chosen to visit the Department of Radiology web site. Please take this opportunity to learn more about our Department and Radiology services. The mission of the Department of Radiology includes commitment to clinical service, education, research and service to the community.
Over the last decade, Radiology has emerged as a leader in minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment modalities. With the advances in diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive treatment has come increasing sub-specialization. This sub-specialization provides patients with sophisticated practitioners who concentrate their activities to various specific areas within Radiology.
Our department is made of divisions of General Diagnostic Radiology, with sections including breast imaging, pediatric radiology, chest radiology, diagnostic ultrasound, musculoskeletal imaging, and body imaging with MRI and CT. The Division of Neuroradiology includes both a diagnostic and interventional section. The Division of Nuclear Imaging includes radionuclide imaging, therapeutic radiopharmaceutical administration and PET scanning. The Division of Interventional Radiology provides the full gamut of image-guided minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment. Finally, the Research Division concentrates its efforts in biomedical imaging and bioengineering.
Education is an important facet of the mission of our department. In addition to medical student education, the department conducts a large Residency Program in Diagnostic Radiology and a Independent Interventional Radiology Residency. As a service to the community the department hosts high school and college students in summer fellowships. Finally, the department is active in patient education.
Research is the final component of our academic mission. The Division of Radiology Research provides expertise in Biomedical Imaging as well as Bioengineering. The Department is involved in basic science research in both Bioengineering and Imaging analysis. Members of the Department engage in clinical research and clinical trials along subspecialty lines.
Feel free to peruse our website for information about our department, faculty, medical student education, the Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program, Independent Interventional Radiology Residency, and departmental research.
Sincerely,
John L. Nosher, MD

Residencies & Fellowship
Diagnostic Radiology Residency
Our large Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program delivers an excellent balance between the academic and practical aspects of radiology. Daily educational conferences, some of which are multidisciplinary, provide residents with a firm academic foundation. In addition, the attending radiologists are dedicated to teaching and to resident success. As the vast majority of them are subspecialized, residents receive an excellent and comprehensive educational experience encompassing the different branches of radiology.
Integrated Interventional Radiology Residency
Our training program is unique as it provides our IR/DR resident access to a large volume of cases across a broad spectrum of interventions under the mentorship of experienced fellowship-trained interventional radiologists. This exposure is facilitated by our affiliation with the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey the Bristol-Myers Squibb Children's Hospital and the Children's Specialized Hospital. Our primary teaching facility is also a level one trauma center, level one stroke center, and the teaching site for residencies and fellowships of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Adjacent to the hospital is an outpatient interventional radiology facility housing our vein clinic.
We also have a diagnostic radiology residency, early specialization in interventional radiology (ESIR), and rotating medical students. The IR/DR resident has ample opportunity to teach along with being taught. Combined with unparalleled hands-on experience, the IR/DR resident has exposure to research, the liver multidisciplinary group, the vascular malformation clinic, the vein clinic, the pulmonary embolism response team, an outpatient clinic, and dedicated rotation time with vascular surgery, surgical oncology, neuro-interventional, and ICU. The IR/DR resident is mentored by an experienced program director and teaching faculty with decades of experience and a proven track in training successful and accomplished interventional radiologists.

Medical Student Education
Message from the Clerkship Director

When I was a medical student, I only met two radiologists during those four years, thus receiving only minimal contact with the field. My mother was an X-ray technologist, so I did know a little bit about what radiologists do.
Fast forward – we now have an enthusiastic radiology residency, each of whom are mentored by faculty with extensive experience in all areas of Radiology. As you are rotating through Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Ob-Gyn, Neurology, Psychiatry, Family Medicine and other core rotations, you realize how imaging plays such a critical role in managing your patient. Have you seen any of your patients go to surgery without imaging? Any seriously ill patient being treated without imaging? Having a baby without imaging? The answer is most likely no to many of these questions.
Since Radiology is not a standardized core clerkship, we have created electives which will familiarize you with the field and its importance in the management of your patients. These electives are not only intended for students who are thinking about Radiology as a career, but for all medical students, as you will use imaging/Radiology in whatever field of Medicine you are thinking about.
Our Radiology Department welcomes any medical student to observe and find out about the role of imaging in the management of patients.
Alumni Association sponsored events are attended by Radiology residents and faculty to give information to medical students about both the overall field of Radiology, and information regarding careers in Radiology.
Mentoring has been an active part of our clinical responsibility. In fact, over 150 radiologists from RWJ medical students over the last 25 years have gone to pursue careers in Radiology!
Mentors will help you with making a decision about your career, advise you on your strengths and weaknesses, when to take your USMLE II, how to get the best LORs (Letters of Recommendation), how to construct a PS (Personal Statement), where to apply, how to prepare for interviews, etc.
Please feel free to contact me at amorosa@rwjms.rutgers.edu if you have any questions regarding these matters.
Sincerely,
Judith Korek Amorosa, MD

It is a manufacturing center, agricultural center, high-tech corporate center, and small-town America rolled into one.
Quality Improvement Resident Director
The QI Resident Director is a position on the same level as chief resident. This resident provides a leadership role and given opportunities to enhance education regarding the intricacies of QI activities. This resident assists in the education of other residents regarding QI.
The selected resident is given financial support to attend a national meeting with a focus on QI. Upon his or her return, the resident provides a summary of the meeting to the other residents in the program.
This resident completes a substantial QI project and submits the resulting manuscript to a major peer-reviewed radiology journal. The presentation of the project at a national meeting is encouraged. The project selected is be designed to enhance departmental QI activities. Mentorship from faculty is provided from Dr. Basak, Dr. Kempf, and Dr. Schonfeld.
The resident QI director serves as the contact person for junior residents to help them deal effectively with adverse events or quality issues that may impact them. The resident QI director is involved in the formulation of the monthly QA conferences run by an attending and another resident. The resident QI director lectures on QI topics derived from suggestions and recommendations from residents, issues identified at the department QA conference, and self-selected topics. This resident works closely with Dr. Schonfeld, the QI program director, and the associate program director in enhancing QI opportunities and education for the residents in the program. Furthermore, this resident serves as a liaison between the residency program and the University Radiology Group's QA Committee.
A critical component of the radiology residency is completion of a Quality Improvement project. This involves direct involvement in a project that involves findings a practice problem to improve upon or correct, developing an intervention, implementing that intervention and then quantitatively measuring the effect of the intervention. Examples include accuracy of radiology reports regarding right/left discrepancy, complications related to image guided procedures and documentation of communication with referring physicians regarding urgent findings.

Research Activities
The Department of Radiology at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School has a strong commitment to research. The research mission of the department is to promote the improvement in radiological and medical practice through collaborative and independent investigations. In pursuit of this mission, the department has established an extensive record of collaboration in multi-center trials sponsored by industry, the federal government and non-profit agencies. The department also very actively collaborates with other members of the Rutgers community who seek to have a radiology component to their research.
The department is undergoing considerable growth in the area of independent investigation conducted by both clinical researchers and basic scientists within the department. Basic-science research is now performed within the Center for Biomedical Imaging and Informatics that is operated in collaboration with the Department of Pathology.
Research in the department is closely integrated with training programs in the department and opportunities for participation in research are available to interventional radiology fellows, medical residents, medical students and graduate students. Graduate students are drawn from the Rutgers- Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Rutgers University. Clinical investigation is supported by state-of-the-art facilities at the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and the affiliated University Radiology Group.

Interest in Radiologic Research
A cross-disciplinary team of investigators from Radiology and CINJ are developing new approaches for detecting, tracking and characterizing tumor response to treatment. This work has already resulted in a presentation at the Cancer Imaging and Radiation Therapy Symposium. Held in Atlanta, GA and a joint manuscript in the journal of Academic Radiology. Through funding from the Shimamura Fellowship, Rebekah Gensure, an MD, PhD student working under the direction of Dr. Foran and Dr. Nosher is expanding these studies and conducting performance analysis of the imaging and quantitative algorithms under development.
In a set of parallel efforts, Drs. Foran, Amorosa, Aisner (CINJ) and Nosher are using a reference library of low-dose helical computed tomography (CT) and standard chest X-ray provided by the National Lung Screening Trial to evaluate a suite of newly developed imaging tools for (1) tracking and assessing tumor response to treatment; (2) therapy planning; and (3) predicting patient outcomes.
The Department of Radiology has established a formal rotation in Medical Imaging and Informatics for the radiology residency program. The goal of this rotation is to educate the resident in four areas of medical imaging and informatics: (1) quantitative image analysis, (2) statistical pattern recognition, and (3) computer-assisted diagnosis (4) teleradiology. Residents and faculty who are interested in participating in these rotations and the associated seminar series are encouraged to contact Dr. Foran (foran@rwjms.rutgers.edu) or Dr. Nosher (nosher@rutgers.edu).
Vascular and Interventional Radiology
The Radiology Department of the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital performs approximately 209,000 diagnostic radiology examinations a year. Approximately 8,800 Vascular/Interventional procedures are performed each year by fellowship-trained Vascular/Interventional radiologists and Neurointerventional radiologists. Typically, two Vascular/Interventional radiologists and one Neuroradiologist are present in the Interventional Radiology suite.
There are three angiography rooms, two of which have biplane capabilities. There are two additional rooms for minor procedures and a dedicated CT scanner. A patient admission and holding area is fully staffed by a dedicated radiology team. Among the many procedures performed at our institution, the Vascular/Interventional Radiology department especially excels in interventional oncologic procedures and cerebral aneurysm/stroke interventions.
Some of the procedures performed include:
- Trauma Interventions
- Interventional Oncology
- SIRT
- Chemoembolization
- Radiofrequency Ablation and Cryoablation
- Uterine Fibroid Embolization
- Neuro-Interventions
- AVM and Aneurysm Coiling
- Stroke Intervention
- Carotid Artery Stenting
- Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty
- Drainage
- Biopsies (CT and US)
- Dialysis Access and Intervention
- Vascular Access
- Urologic Interventions
- Percutaneous Biliary and Gastrointestinal Procedures
- TIPS
- Non-invasive vascular Imaging (MRA, US, CTA, etc.)
